MMA News: The Iranian Hulk set to make combat sports debut with BKFC

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship's latest recruit can easily be considered the 'eighth wonder' of the world. At the end of the preliminary card at BKFC 9, the organization ran a promo teasing the debut of Iranian bodybuilder Sajad Gharibi, also known as the 'Iranian Hulk'. (h/t MMA Fighting)

Gharibi is a social media sensation owing to his unbelievably huge physique and the bodybuilder's Instagram profile is proof of the fact that he has been willing to enter the world of combat sports for a while now.

Even though he is willing to get into professional fighting, BKFC are going to have a difficult time trying to find a suitable opponent for the Iranian because of his physical stature.

The announcement by BKFC didn't reveal the date for Gharibi's debut nor did they reveal the opponent but President David Feldman said that they are planning to do a show called 'World War III - USA vs. Iran in 2020 which will feature the Iranian Hulk. He further stated that Gharibi is the promotion's 'biggest' signing yet and really great things are expected of him.

“This guy’s going to make his Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut in early 2020,” he said. “We’re going to do a show entitled ‘USA vs. Iran: World War III.’ He’s literally our biggest signing we’ve ever had. But he’s going to make his way over to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, he’s gonna make a home here, and we expect really, really big things from ‘The Iranian Hulk.’”

Fight fans will be dying to see how Gharibi fares in an actual fight and it is no secret that the man will attract huge crowds on his debut.
