Clayton colossus Eddie Hall has made a stunning MMA debut - by beating two men in the same fight. The 36-year-old was back in the ring for the first time since his boxing defeat to Hafthor 'The Mountain' Bjornsson.

Last night's World Freak Fight League event saw The Beast take on the Neffati twins - Jamil and Jamel - in a two-on-one match. Eddie stands at 6ft2in and weighs well over 300lbs, while the Neffati brothers are said to be 5ft3in tall and tip the scales at just 145lbs each.

Eddie eventually knocked out one of the TikTok influencers who have millions of followers. After throwing one brother to the ground, Eddie fended off an attack from the other fighter before knocking the first brother unconscious with a deadly right hand.

The result was vindication for Eddie who had spent the first two rounds chasing the brothers around the cage. Eddie had always been aiming for a knockout.

He told fans before the fight: "Training has been pretty hard, it's double the cardio. You've got two eyes on you and four fists, you've got to keep moving all the time. I've really struggled to find people as small as them, my 11-year-old son is bigger than the pair of them put together. I'm going to knock one of them out, then pick him up and knock the other out with him."

Following the fight, one of the brothers said: "It must have been a good punch as I cannot remember anything. People were shouting at me from the crowd and I shouted back 'you come and fight him, see if you can do it'."
