Eddie Hall has insisted that he would be willing to make a career-low weight of 300lb in order to fight Dillon Danis but it still might not be enough.<\/p>\n
The 2017 World\u2019s Strongest Man made his professional MMA debut earlier this year, tipping the scales at 334lb as he viciously knocked out<\/a> Mariusz Pudzianowski<\/a> within a round. It seems that he now wants to fight Danis, making his way into the ring after the BJJ star recorded a quick win over Warren Spencer<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, Danis has told media including Bloody Elbow that he must lose a further 35lb in order to make the MMA heavyweight limit of 265lb. That would be the lowest Hall has been since likely his teenage years, and perhaps too drastic a cut given he was once well over 430lb.<\/p>\n Eddie Hall is willing to lose 64lb to make 300lb limit for Dillon Danis MMA fight<\/p>\n Former World\u2019s Strongest Man Eddie Hall<\/a> has been an admitted fan of Dillon Danis\u2019<\/a> for a long time, dating back to his original feud with Jake and Logan Paul<\/a>. But after watching his impressive 15-second win, the Brit wants to test his massive size advantage against his rival\u2019s impressive jiu-jitsu.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s been talking s\u2014 for a long time making snide comments on social media so I thought I\u2019d put my money where my mouth is,\u201d Hall told Bloody Elbow in an exclusive chat. \u201cHe wanted me to get under 400lb which I am, so I said I\u2019d get under 300 if he shakes my hand there and then which he did.<\/p>\n \u201cSo give me 12 weeks to lose 64lb and I will come in and rock his f\u2014ing chin\u2026 Honestly I just need one good shot on his face and he\u2019ll regret shaking my hand. I\u2019m not particularly bothered [about the takedown] but I\u2019ll be prepared for the full fight.\u201d<\/p>\n Dillon Danis says Eddie Hall must make MMA heavyweight limit of 265lb to be considered<\/p>\n Unfortunately for Hall, it appears that Danis is already not too keen on the idea of the matchup and would rather a more recognisable and serious name in the cage. After six years out of competition, he has been told by the UFC that his dream of a contract in the big leagues will be granted with activity.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has to make at least the UFC heavyweight limit,\u201d Danis told media including Bloody Elbow during the post-fight press conference. \u201cHe has to at least make that, but if he can do it then hell yeah I\u2019d do it. 425lb is what he wanted to fight at, I\u2019m 170lb. At least make the UFC weight.\u201d<\/p>\n Danis seems to be more interested with a prospective re-booking of his fight with Tony Ferguson, which was due to take place on GFL earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Hall has insisted that he would be willing to make a career-low weight of 300lb in order…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,10987,25300,641,13859,10988,638,82],"class_list":["post-108926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-dillon-danis","tag-eddie-hall","tag-fighting","tag-misfits-22","tag-misfits-boxing","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
