Eddie Hall reveals dream opponents for next fight after brutal 30 second KO of Mariusz Pudzianowski
EDDIE HALL has revealed who he would like to fight next after knocking out Mariusz Pudzianowski in less than 30 seconds on his MMA debut.
The former World’s Strongest Man champion, 37, made his pro-MMA debut on Saturday as KSW 105 in Poland, taking just 27 seconds beat fellow strongman champ Pudzianowski.
But despite decimating KSW icon Pudzianowski, Hall has no intention of becoming a standout in the Polish promotion’s heavyweight division.
Instead he has revealed that he wants to “have fun”, revealing what his ideal next opponent would be like.
He said: “Maybe Mariusz will do the rematch with two-minute rounds.
“I’ve got no aspirations to be number one in KSW. That’s just not for me. I want to come and have fun.
“I want to fight my heroes. I want to fight the freaks of the world.”
He went on to joke that he would find it “comical” to fight UFC icon Conor McGregor.
He said: “I would love to fight Conor McGregor. I think the weight difference would be absolutely comical.
“There is weight classes for that reason. It would be dangerous, on Conor’s behalf.”

Brit Hall certainly has the right people on his side if he does want to continue his career in MMA, having sought advice from a UFC champion.
The Beast, who shed 45kg from his usual 195kg weight for the fight, was helped by Tom Aspinall and his dad Andy in the build up to his breezy win over Pudzianowski.
Speaking after the win, he revealed: “I think Tom and Andy would be very happy with that performance.
“I’ve done little bits of training with Tom and, like I’ve said in the past, getting in the ring with Tom is very humbling.
“You think you can fight, you think you can wrestle and then you get in the ring with Tom and he just treats you like a little girl.
“Tom wished me best [of luck]. He messaged me this morning and said, ‘Good luck with the fight, don’t forget to enjoy it.’
“Being in their presence – Andy Aspinall, as well, is a phenomenal coach.
“Andy can explain something once and you’ll watch it and you know what to do.
“So, you know, just those little few sessions of having Tom and Andy definitely paid dividends. They made a big difference.”
