Eddie Hall once again made history. The 36-year-old former World Strongman Champion broke the punch power record on a specialized UFC machine. This notable moment quickly spread across social media, captivating audiences worldwide.

Hall, also known as "The Beast," is among the strongest individuals ever. His crowning as the World Strongman Champion in 2017 and numerous other achievements are a testament to his incredible strength. For a span of four years, he held the world record in the deadlift, lifting over a ton, a feat achieved by only a select few.

A recently shared video on the X service by the Happy Punch profile captured Hall's latest record-setting feat: outperforming the previous strongest punch record.

This measurement took place at the UFC's Performance Institute in Las Vegas. It used a machine that evaluates the force of a punch in Franklin units, taking into account variables such as power and speed.

The record was held by UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, with a score of around 192,000 Franklin units. Hall's punch surpassed this, hitting approximately 209,000 Franklin units, securing his status as the newest world record holder. This achievement has quickly amassed over 3.5 million views on the X service.

Having the capacity to deliver potent punches is a significant advantage in combat sports, and Hall has explored his potential in this arena. Notably, in 2022, he faced "Game of Thrones" star Hafthor Bjornsson in a boxing match. Despite Hall's defeat by the actor known as "The Mountain," his talents remain undisputed. There were talks of Hall making his MMA debut, but as of now, that fight has yet to materialize.
