Eddie Hall vs Hafthor Bjornsson: Pair separated as first face-off turns heated

Things are really heating up ahead of Saturday.

Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson and Eddie Hall came face-to-face for the first time and let’s just say their encounter got a little out of control.

The two strongmen square off on Saturday, March 19 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium in a bout that many thought would have never come to fruition.

Yet here we are, and the pair have already traded heated words to one another with less than a week to go until fight night.

A user on Twitter posted a clip of the strongmen at a gym, where they had to be separated by others around them to avoid the situation escalating further. A brawl did not ensue, but it’s safe to say that these two will be showing no mercy in the ring on Saturday.

While the audio is not the most crystal clear, Hall was ready to “step outside” and handle business. The exchange was quite vulgar, which led to Thor almost throwing a punch as Hall was backing up out the door.
