Moment Eddie Hall brutally KOs opponent as he beats TWO men in one round on MMA debut

Eddie Hall, the man who was crowned the World's Strongest Man in 2017, enjoyed quite the MMA debut on Friday night by defeating two opponents at once in a handicap match.

The 36-year-old returned to combat sports for the first time since his loss to Hafthor Bjornsson, also known as 'The Mountain' from Game of Thrones, in a boxing match at the World Freak Fight League event in Blackburn.

Here he faced off against the Neffati Brothers, Jamil and Jamel, in a two-on-one match. Despite a slow start where the brothers avoided Hall for the first two rounds, the British powerhouse managed to knock out one of his opponents with a powerful right hand, securing a stylish victory.

Hall had previously thrown one brother to the ground and defended himself from the other before delivering the knockout punch. This win served as validation for Hall, who had been frustrated by the brothers' reluctance to engage in earlier rounds.

In the lead-up to the fight, tensions escalated during a press conference when Hall was slapped by one of the brothers. His response was to throw someone at the brothers as security guards stepped in.

Hall threateningly vowed ahead of the match to "knock both brothers out". He stated: "Training has been pretty hard, it's double the cardio. You've got two eyes on you and four fists, you've got to keep moving all of the time.

"I've really struggled to find people as small as them, my 11-year-old son is bigger than the pair of them put together. I'm going to knock one of them out, then pick him up and knock the other out with him."

The eccentric Neffati Brothers, meanwhile, expressed their astonishment that Hall had volunteered to face-off against them. They said: "I'm surprised he took the fight, I thought he was bigger. He keeps saying he's going to do this and that, but he is so slow. 

"We've been training with professional fighters, not teddy bears like me. I can imagine after 45-seconds he is going to want help sent for him or throw in the towel and go crying."

One of the brothers admitted after the KO: "It must have been a good punch as I cannot remember anything. People were shouting at me from the crowd and I shouted back you come and f*****g fight him, see if you can do it!"
