Eddie Hall is looking to return to combat sports following his recent outing but he is struggling to find a relevant dance partner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past few years, freak show fights in combat sports have become far more regular, especially with the growing popularity of promotions like Misfits Boxing.<\/p>\n

And one fighter who has been involved in several freak show events including bizarre 2 vs 1 fights<\/a> is former World\u2019s Strongest Man, Eddie Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Behemoth recently competed in his MMA debut against fellow strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski<\/a>. The fight was over after just 30 seconds<\/a> as Hall scored the rapid finish, but it came covered in controversy.<\/p>\n

Pudzianowski accused Hall of striking him to the back of the head<\/a>, claiming that\u2019s what led to the finish, however things quickly blew over.<\/p>\n

Following his win over the Pole, \u2018The Beast\u2019 admitted that he wanted to get back into action sooner rather than later, and was interested in taking another MMA fight.<\/p>\n

Talks even sparked regarding a potential super fight between Hall and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou<\/a>, but nothing escalated any further.<\/p>\n

Despite that, Hall recently revealed that he was in talks with the agent of controversial MMA star Dillon Danis for a potential freak show fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was even a chat of me fighting KSI at one point, but he\u2019s too f\u2014\u2014 p\u2014- to do it,\u201d Hall said on The Fellas Podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been talks with Dillon Danis, that was another one through Misfits, so they\u2019ve been mentioning that one. I sort of spoke to his, well, met his agent out in Amsterdam recently and again he was like \u2018No f\u2014\u2014 chance, you\u2019d kill him.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cDillon Danis your manager said you\u2019re a p\u2014- basically, so if you want to have a word with him and tell him to man up and let you have a fight then stop being a p\u2014- then that\u2019d be great,\u201d Hall continued.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Eddie Hall targeting potential fight against Ngannou<\/p>\n

Although fans sparked chat of a potential fight between Hall and Ngannou before, it was more hopeful fan talk than anything else.<\/p>\n

However, Hall has stated that he would like to fight \u2018The Predator\u2019 in what would be a huge fight in the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m quite keen to carry it on and I\u2019ve got no aspirations to be a ranked fighter or be the number one fighter in any (promotion), I just want to have fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to fight people like Mariusz Pudzianowski, I wanna fight mad fights like maybe fight Francis Ngannou, just absolutely crazy things, like out of this world, just make money and have fun.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Hall is looking to return to combat sports following his recent outing but he is struggling to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,96975,28362,5705,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-251357","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-dillon-danis","10":"tag-eddie-hall","11":"tag-mma","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114824542537921939","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
