Ngannou Could Face Winner of Hall vs. Pudzianowski, Says KSW Chief

The world of mixed martial arts may soon see a titanic contest, with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou potentially facing the victor of the highly anticipated match between Eddie Hall and Mariusz Pudzianowski.

Hall and Pudzianowski, both past winners of the World’s Strongest Man competition, are slated to clash later at KSW 105 in Gliwice, Poland. This heavyweight bout has garnered significant attention from fight enthusiasts worldwide.

With a combined weight of 600 pounds, these two behemoths are expected to produce an explosive encounter, marking one of the year’s most eagerly awaited events.

While the fight ahead is a substantial challenge for both athletes, an even greater test may loom.

KSW President Martin Lewandowski shared with MMA Fighting that negotiations are in progress for the winner to potentially square off against Francis Ngannou, also known as “The Predator”.

Since his impressive triumph over Renan Ferreira, the former UFC heavyweight champion and current PFL Super Fights titleholder has been without an opponent, but this situation could soon change.

Lewandowski stated, “I am in contact with representatives from PFL. Therefore, discussions about arranging such a match are certainly possible if they are open to sharing the fighter. I want to express my definite interest in making this happen.”

Ngannou would pose a considerable hurdle for either Hall or Pudzianowski. Pudzianowski has considerable MMA experience, having participated in over 20 professional fights. A victory for Hall, however, would mean a swift shift from strongman competitions to fighting at an elite level.

If circumstances align, this potential super-fight could emerge as one of the most physically imposing contests in MMA history, a true spectacle for fans globally.

For the moment, focus is on KSW 105, where Eddie Hall and Mariusz Pudzianowski are set to settle their rivalry and potentially earn a chance to face one of MMA’s most formidable heavyweights.
