Eddie Hall opens door to stunning fight with Brock Lesnar… despite being frightened of UFC and WWE legend
EDDIE HALL is open to a stunning fight against Brock Lesnar – despite being frightened of him.
Lesnar left the WWE to pursue a career in MMA only to return to wrestling after winning the UFC heavyweight title.
But the American powerhouse, 47, has not fought since 2016 and only makes cameo appearances in the WWE these days.
Hall, 36, meanwhile has had one boxing bout and another in MMA since walking away from strongman competition.
The former world’s strongest man is training for another fight in the cage – and refused to rule out a dream bout with Lesnar – for the right price.
Clash Royale ambassador Hall told SunSport: “Would I fight Brock Lesnar?
“I mean, God, if you ask me, my first response would be no. Why? That is a fearsome man.
“There’s not many people on this planet that scare me. And Brock Lesnar is definitely one of those.
“But I probably would fight him if the money was right. Yeah, so why not?”
Lesnar debuted in the UFC in 2008 and had eight octagon fights – four for the title.

He initially retired in 2011 but made a dramatic return in 2016 to fight Mark Hunt at UFC 200 – winning before it was chalked off for a failed drug test.
Lesnar has not fought since and is yet to return to WWE since 2023.
Hall meanwhile has not weighed the UFC heavyweight limit of 265lb since he was 18-years-old.
The strongman star lost his boxing debut to rival Hafthor Bjornsson in 2022.
But this year he defeated TikTok pair Jamil and Jamel Neffati in a two-on-one handicap MMA bout.
Hall is now in talks to fight strongman-turned MMA fighter Mariusz Pudzianowski.
He said: “Mariusz Pudzianowski is five times World Strongest Man and we’re very similar build, like 6ft 1, 6ft 2. His strength is really portrayed in his fights.
“He is 47 years old now. I’m 36. So I just think that all these different sorts of things that I’ve got going on equals the playing field a little bit.
“And I keep asking the question to people, me versus Marius, and everyone’s like, ‘Wow, that’s going to be a really good fight.’
“No one can definitely say that Marius is going to win, and no one can say I’m going to win.
