Sajad Gharibi recently uploaded a video to his personal Instagram, showcasing some of his superhuman strength ahead of what is going to be a truly unique - and memorable - occasion.
The Iranian strongman has amassed a following of over 600,000 people on Instagram, with his unique physical abilities and extraordinary frame attracting fans from all over the world.

"Beautiful white teeth one side, you with all your sponsors [in] front of me with dear fans all around the world who support and motivate me."
"Different conditions, it's not important. Even if [it's in] the worst conditions, I have. But Iranian Hulk never stops. See you April 2nd," Gharibi promised.
While his opponent holds an eight-inch height advantage, in terms of weight the Iranian is in a different class. Gharibi reportedly comes in at an astonishing 390lbs (177kg), while Ford is a mere 320lbs (145kg).

The pair have never fought in an official bout as of yet, despite Ford training in the MMA discipline for a number of years, but one thing is for certain - there is bad blood between both men.
Standing at 6 ft 8, Ford has rightly earned his intimidating moniker, and with some fighting experience behind him, the Brit will certainly fancy his chances in the upcoming bout.
In an Instagram post that confirmed the fight was taking place in 2022, Ford couldn't promise the most technical of fights, but he did hope to deliver some fireworks for the watching fans.
