Eddie Hall breaks his silence after fans spot illegal move during his first MMA fight

Eddie Hall apologised to Mariusz Pudzianowski after using an illegal move against the Polish fighter at KSW 105.

British fighter Hall claimed a stunning victory over Pudzianowski on his mixed martial arts debut in Poland on Saturday night.

Despite Pudzianowski, a five-time World Strongest Man winner, having been tipped as favourite ahead of the bout, Hall overcame the odds to claim a knock out within 30 seconds.

Hall landed a big right hand after pressing Pudzianowski against the cage, before letting fly on his wobbling 48-year-old opponent, breaking his hand in the process.

After the fight, Hall issues an apology for hitting Pudzianowski in the back of the head.

He confessed: "I do hold my hands up when I say, 'I'm sorry for hitting you in the back of the head'.

"I don't condone that, and I wouldn't want it done to me."

Hall, who beat Neffati brothers Jamil and Jamel last time out, added: "The fight against Mariusz was harder.

"I didn't break my hand on the Neffati Brothers. But I broke my hand on Mariusz's face.

"I'd say Mariusz is a much harder fight than the Neffatti Brothers.

"But the Neffati Brothers, they won a 2-vs-1 recently. So fair play to them. They've improved. So well done to them."

He continued: “If you’re not scared, you’re not nervous then something’s not right.

"Let’s face it, I’m going up against Mariusz Pudzianowski; 26 professional fights, five times World’s Strongest Man.

"He’s a fierce, fierce man and to get in the cage and exchange leather with a man whose had 26 fights? I’ve had one!

“So I’ve got a lot to be scared of and the four-minute rounds has been a tough thing for me to accept as well.

"He’s got a lot of advantages, but I’ve said, ‘Sod it. Why not let him have four-minute rounds? Let’s just get this done.'”
