| Mitchell Hooper, the reigning Arnold Strongman Classic and WSM champion, is set to take his talents to the world of mixed martial arts (MMA). In an exciting announcement on his YouTube channel, Hooper revealed that he will be facing off against Eddie Hall, the 2017 WSM champion, in an MMA tournament on February 17, 2024, at Lusail Stadium in Qatar. This highly anticipated fight is part of a larger MMA tournament that will also feature the recently retired four-time WSM champion Brian Shaw and British bodybuilder Martyn Ford. The tournament will follow a bracket-style format, with the ultimate goal of determining an overall victor. And with a potential $300 million USD prize pool, the stakes couldn’t be higher. While Hooper and Hall prepare for their epic showdown, twelve other fighters will battle it out in the main event, adhering to Bellator MMA rules. This means that head drops and kicks while on the ground are legal, adding an extra level of intensity to the matches. The fight between Hooper and Hall will consist of three two-minute rounds, putting both athletes’ skills and endurance to the test. However, the timing of the tournament presents a unique challenge for Hooper, as it falls just before the Arnold Strongman Classic, Arnold Strongman UK, and WSM events, which he plans to compete in. Despite this, Hooper is determined to give his all in both the MMA tournament and the upcoming strongman events. He will be training rigorously to ensure he is well-conditioned for the fight, and will then shift his focus to defending his WSM title. The anticipation for the clash between Hooper and Hall is already building, and fans can’t wait to see these two powerhouses go head-to-head in the octagon. |
