Smilin’Sam Alvey believes he can make Eddie Hall cry.
Following the shocking first round knockout of Tyrone Spong, in order to maintain his karate combat heavyweight title, the former UFC fighter decided to shoot the shot, sought a clash with the former world’s strongest man.
“I’m going to kick your ass with respect,” Albey said, referring to Hall in his postwar interview. “You’re incredible. I saw what you’re doing. I want a piece of art.”
Since then, Alvey has doubled and tripled his comments while making rounds at the Ariel Helwani show. While appearing in the latter, Albey threatens to bring Hall to tears if the big man chooses to step up and sign the contract.
“I saw him cry when the little child’s leg kicked him once,” Alvey said. “I will make him cry in front of the world.”
Eddie Hall was impressed with MMA debut, and Sam Alvie’s career revival continues
After not calling out one victory in his final nine fights under the UFC banner, Alvey saw something like a career revival and won five consecutive wins, including a back-to-back defense of his karate combat crown. Still, Alvey may be biting little by little more than he can bite by calling “The Beast.”
Eddie Hall made waves with his martial arts debut last month, and only took 30 seconds to finish Marius Puzianovsky via TKO in Griwys, Poland.
Hall is only interested in “freak fights” with Albey and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, so Hall’s karate combat debut doesn’t seem to be when, and not when.
