Strength is very much dependent on the weight class of the individual. No matter the skill level, a bantamweight cannot expect to defeat a heavyweight boxer. The Neffati brothers learned this the hard way against Eddie Hall. The former World’s Strongest Man competed in an unprecedented 2-on-1 MMA fight against the brothers. The result was as lopsided as fight fans expected.
The opening rounds saw Hall’s adversaries circling him cautiously in the cage. After some tentative exchanges, one brother summoned the courage to attack Hall in Round 3. Hall scooped him up effortlessly into a crushing powerbomb slam. The helpless man crashed down like a rag doll and attempted to rejoin his sibling in renewed desperation.
As the powerbombed brother approached the World’s Strongest Man, he uncorked a literal knockout punch – a heavy right cross. This left one of the Nefatti brothers out cold on the canvas. The other brother was holding onto Hall’s legs. The referee, however, stopped the contest at that point.
The round was resumed, but this time, it was just 1v1. Soon, Hall swarmed him and unleashed some ground strikes before the referee stopped the fight. The former World’s Strongest Man has trained in MMA for some time now. He has trained with the likes of Tom Aspinall. The two Neffati Brothers firsthand experienced the full savage onslaught of The Beast’s frightening power firsthand.
