Mariusz vs Eddie Hall...in da cage....

[1Patrick]

Pretty unexpected result?

I was surprised but I don't know much about fighting

No one was expecting this .Mariusz had been fighting since 2009   and  was obviously winner prior to this fight on the paper ,even though his opponents were  nobodies .This was shock .Think  Tyson on top of his game losing to Buster Douglas .
If Mariusz somehow managed to drag it into 2nd or 3rd round Eddie would gassed out .Like BigRo has mentioned in one of his posts “Win is a win”.

Just example of actual odds. Van has mentioned he does not   follow MMA so he obviously knows Tyson.

Good points,  though Pudz was never top of his game..
I expected him to win but its not like Eddie is some push over and he's fought more recently than mariusz who lost his last fight in 2022

Even with poor technique, Eddie has considerable mass to cause damage. Once that right hook landed, it was game over to Mariuz Pudzianenko. Same with Bob Sapp, zero skills, just brute force.

Even with superior mass, Eddie would lose to any Top 10 UFC middle or light hw fighter.

Hell, he´d lose even to the Top 10 Lightweight fighters in the UFC


Islam Makhachev

Arman Tsarukyan   

Charles Oliveira   

Justin Gaethje   

Max Holloway   

Dustin Poirier

etc

You may be right, but I bet none of those would actually risk doing a fight with Eddie. Who disagrees?

Brian Shaw struggled grappling with Poirier, in a no holds barred fight you have to go with Shaw, even a glancing blow would fuck Dustin up

Probably.  Still, Ernesto Hoost lost twice to Bob Sapp. Hoost was the best of the best.

Didn't they start on the ground for that? I also remember Connor McGregor pelting Thor until Thor caught him.

Just watched an interview with Eddie on talksport mma.
Didn't come across arrogant or anything.
Did say if the money is big he wouldn't say no to most fight scenarios, said brock lesner is one of the last people on the planet he'd want to fight, he's one of the scariest men on the planet.
Did say he'd happily fight jake and logan paul.
