Karate Expert Sam Alvy Issues Challenge to Strongman Eddie Hall for a Brawl
*Whack 'em, Alvey! After parting ways with the UFC, Sam Alvey's been on a fantastic career resurgence. Last weekend, the Yank put Tai Tuivasa to sleep and retained his Karate Combat heavyweight belt. During a chat with Ariel Helwani on the SMILE'N show, Alvey fired a shot at the ex-"World's Strongest Man" champion, Eddie Hall:
"Mark my words, bub: I'm gonna kick your butt - with all due respect, mind you. So quit dragging your heels and sign the contract, pal! Let's dance!"
Alvey didn't stop there, "Karate Combat's completely cool with this plan, as far as I know. They're raring to go. Eddie Hall, don't play hard to get! Stop stalling and dodging, kid!"
It's worth mentioning that Hall proceeded to knock out Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 105 in just 30 seconds in his MMA debut.
