Media 4 x World's Strongest Man is trying mma

[Dana's Moonface]

Brian Shaw, 4 x Worlds Strongest man, 3 x Arnold Classic winner and Current Strongest man on Earth has retired from Strongman

It appears from this video he wants to try giving mma a go and like any real sherbro, cutting to 265 is out of the question.

Obviously he's in his 40s and his striking is never going to be great. But it would be interesting to see how this 400lb behemoth fairs, if he loses 50lb and really gets stuck into the training

Obviously we should never expect great things, but he could like fair better in grappling than what Hafthor did in boxing

Personally I would have preferred if he went the grappling route and maybe tried to compete in grappling after a solid year or 2 training

It’d be fun to see him fight 3 or 4 125ers at once.

 

[Ironheart]

I love Shaw. I think he's too old to make any serious waves but I hope he enjoys himself and stays happy and healthy.

 

[Mongoose]

Where would he be able to fight at 350 lbs?

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

I predict he will take a knee to the body in a competitive fight and then realise this shit aint for him.

 

[Ozze]

If this was 15 years ago it would be interesting to see. Like a Bob Sapp thing.
But by now everyone knows it not just as simple as being a strong dude, it takes more than that.

 

[Frank Kain]

I just don’t know where he is going to fight, at that size. And what’s the end game? Ngannou?

Edit: slap fighting? I could see him demolishing guys at that. Get @BEATDOWNS in here.

If Pride was around, he could be one of those freaks that gets annihilated for the crowds pleasure.

 

[Tweak896]

He can fight another strongman. He's more athletic than most, but MMA is pretty cardio demanding.

 

[LiQuiD42]

This guys grip strength has to be insane, who does he fight and what weight is he walking around at now?

 

[Huligani]

He won't be able to move

 

[Elvis.]

When someone teaches him how to fight I’m going to be so excited <Lmaoo>

 

[Bushwhacker B]

Where would he be able to fight at 350 lbs?

Dubai probably

I'm honestly surprised the UFC never signed him for the name brand as well as how shallow HW is

 

[Trabaho]

Why do we call guys like him strongest in the world. He would lose to ufc lightweights. Maybe the whole roster. Not strong in my book
