EDDIE HALL has undergone a spectacular body transformation ahead of his first ever MMA fight.
Hall, 37, will take on Mariusz Pudzianowski in a super-heavyweight bout on Saturday in the latter’s home country of Poland.

The legendary strongman is set for his toughest ever challenge in the fighting scene as he will be facing a far more experienced mixed martial artist in Pudzianowski, who is gearing up for his 27th match.
The Englishman started out with boxing in 2022 when he suffered a loss to strongman icon and Game of Thrones superstar Hafthor Bjornsson via unanimous decision.
The 2017 World’s Strongest Man transitioned into MMA in June and beat the Neffati Brothers via knockout in a 2v1 “freak fight”.
Hall is facing a daunting task head of him and he thus left no stone unturned as he trains with UFC legend Tom Aspinall.
That is why the heavyweight has bulked up to about 355lbs (25.4 stone – 161kg) following a dramatic body transformation.
That is still less than his biggest ever, which was at 432lbs (30.9 stone – 196kg) from back in his strongman days.
Hall told talkSPORT: “I’m about 350-355lbs at the minute, and I’ll probably fight at that.
“I’ve got no intention to lose any more weight. My fitness is good.

“I’ve been doing the four-minute rounds. I’m not gassing, I’m big, I’m strong.
“I’ve never heard a fighter say, ‘I wish I was weaker for that fight’.
“So I’ve got no intention to lose weight, muscle mass or whatever.
“I can fight, I’ve got the lung capacity and I’m happy to go in at this weight.”
