Hall, 37, needed a mere 30 SECONDS to stop the five-time WSM and KSW veteran, who he finished with a barrage of unanswered ground and pound.
'The Beast' sought the advice and wisdom of Tom Aspinall and the interim UFC heavyweight champion's dad, Andy, in the months that preceded his Polish punch-up with Pudzianowski.
And he can't help them enough for helping him have his hand raised.
He said: "I think Tom and Andy would be very happy with that performance.

"I've done little bits of training with Tom and, like I've said in the past, getting in the ring with Tom is very humbling.

"Tom wished me best [of luck]. He messaged me this morning and said, 'Good luck with the fight, don't forget to enjoy it.'

"Andy can explain something once and you'll watch it and you know what to do.

Eddie Hall has hilarious staredown with Mariusz Pudzianowski ahead of MMA debut
Despite decimating KSW icon Pudzianowski, Hall has no intention of becoming a standout in the Polish promotion's heavyweight division.
When asked what's next for him, he said: "Maybe Mariusz will do the rematch with two-minute rounds.
"I've got no aspirations to be number one in KSW.
"That's just not for me. I want to come and have fun.
"I want to fight my heroes. I want to fight the freaks of the world."

The Polish tennis ace went on to secure a comfortable victory in a contest lasting over an hour and 38 minutes, securing her place in the final against Jasmine Paolini. Swiatek had to dig deep in the opening set, clinching a 7-5 win to take a significant step towards the final. The 24-year-old then sealed the match with a 6-3 victory in the second set on her way to the final. Swiatek maintained her composure throughout the match, even when asking a camera operator to stop filming at the end of the first set. The camera followed this year's Wimbledon champion to her bench to capture her reactions after the gruelling set. However, after exhaling a sigh of relief and removing her cap, Swiatek then gestured to the operator and waved her hand down the lens to signal that she no longer wished to be filmed as she was about to change.

Following her victory, Swiatek said: "At the beginning, the level was pretty crazy. "We played so fast that sometimes we couldn't run to the second ball. I was there to play with intensity and good quality. "I'm super happy with the performance. Anyone in the final is going to be super tough, so I have to think tactically. Iga Swiatek was crowned Wimbledon champion earlier this summer (Image: Getty) "I will focus on myself and do what I've been doing, because for sure I feel like there's been progress at this tournament. I just want to continue that, no matter what the result is. "I feel the love here, it's a great place to be. People of Cincinnati are so nice, everywhere we go, even though we're here to play, we feel like we can have peace and just relax when off the court. "So thank you guys for coming out, rooting for us and see you tomorrow."

Francis Ngannou opens up on fatal crash which killed teenage girl
Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou was involved in a motorcycle accident over the Easter weekend and a 17-year-old woman died from her injuries Francis Ngannou has revealed he has been suffering sleepless nights after a motorbike crash that killed a 17-year-old girl. The former UFC heavyweight champion was riding through Yaounde, Cameroon, over the Easter weekend this year when he struck a pedestrian, identified as Ntsama Brigitte Manuella. Ngannou immediately rushed her to Yaounde General Hospital and covered her medical expenses, but she tragically died several days later. The devastating accident occurred just a year after the loss of his 15-month-old son Kobe - who died from a brain malformation. It's been an incredibly difficult period for the 'Predator' - who last competed in October 2024, beating Renan Ferreira to claim the inaugural PFL Super Fights Heavyweight Championship, reports All Out Fighting. Months following Manuella's death, Ngannou spoke publicly about the incident for the first time, with the 38 year old explaining he was riding his motorbike at around 7pm when the crash happened. Speaking on the Ariel Helwani show, he said: "I was going by my mom's place and I get to this, it was like on the boulevard, and I saw this girl trying to cross the street. "But I noticed that she didn't look, because I saw her and it was like a three-way lane side of road, but I noticed that she didn't see. I wanted to go behind her because she was walking fast. Problem is that last minute she turned around and she saw me and she froze there. I had a few seconds, and I hit her with the left side of my motorcycle because I was almost passed, and I was like 300 yards away from a police station. I didn't even fall off the motorcycle, but she fell, so I'm like, 'Should I go report this?' But she's laying on the floor. I parked my motorcycle, go there, carry her, put her in the taxi, and then follow her to the hospital. We get in the hospital. I took her outside. She has a tibia fracture, but I took her out of the car, and she was aware now and in pain, which was a good sign. "I took her to the emergency room. They reassured me everything is good, but I still stayed there for like two hours until people came. ... I left, was reassured that everything was good. I mean, not 'good' because she's hurt, but I'm like, 'Oh, it wasn't the worst. It could have been worse than this.' And every day they were telling me, I was having the follow-up like, 'Oh, she's good.' Because the same night, her family came there, and she was good for the next two days, and they were prepping her surgery. She went for the surgery and never woke up. And just like that [she died]. I'm like, 'How come? What's happened?'" Despite the heartbreak of losing his son, the experience helped the Cameroonian fighter in how he dealt with his motorbike crash after he remembered moments when his boy was receiving treatment. Ngannou urged the medical team to examine whether the 17-year-old woman had internal bleeding and also requested an MRI scan. The 'Predator' was battling for some time following the collision, confessing: "So, now over sleepless nights, dealing with all this, thinking of what you could have done, or should have done, how could you, what would you have done to avoid that, it's a really bad feeling." Just days following the incident, Ngannou said that he has supported the woman's family. He paid for medical expenses, visited them privately and promised ongoing assistance. In the same interview with Helwani, the PFL star disclosed what the family told him. "They even say, okay, we know that he was in the accident, but we saw how you fight for our daughter," Ngannou recalled. He explained that the family acknowledged his choice not to flee the scene but instead to lift her into a taxi, accompany her to the hospital, and stay by her side for hours. He added: "I met them, we talked and then I also explained to them, what really happened. I say, 'Okay, I don't know if you want to hear because I know you are in the grief at this moment, but if you want to hear what's happened, I can talk about it. But I'm not here to give an explanation. I just want you to know the story, you know, because like one thing that you have to understand is that when somebody is laying down with no life, never be right." When is Francis Ngannou's next fight? It's been nearly a year since Ngannou last stepped into the ring. The PFL recently put on two landmark events in Africa, with Ngannou playing a key role in bringing MMA to his cherished continent. Yet many were left baffled as to why he didn't compete on either card. Explaining his absence, he revealed: "For example, like if you want to know what exactly is the reason why I wasn't there. I wasn't very okay with the first PFL Africa event seeming to be like an undercard. "Quoting him, we work a lot for that, PFL Africa, but I hoped PFL Africa's debut would have at least have its glory, its moment. But that wasn't my decision and I wasn't down for it. I express my feeling to them." Regarding his potential comeback, the 38 year old has his sights set on a bout with Deontay Wilder - possibly sometime later this year - though he's disclosed that talks with the boxing legend's camp are yet to begin.

Iga Swiatek provides US Open mixed doubles update after Cincinnati victory
Iga Swiatek has confirmed her participation in today's US Open mixed doubles event despite a rapid turnaround from her victory at the Cincinnati Open on Monday night. The Polish star, who won Wimbledon last month, did not drop a set all week in Cincinnati and defeated Jasmine Paolini 7-5 6-4 to lay down a marker ahead of the US Open. The win ensures Wimbledon champion Swiatek will climb back to world No 2, securing the second seed for the final major of the year at Flushing Meadows, where singles action begins on Sunday. Yet Swiatek also confirmed via social media that she will compete alongside Casper Ruud in New York on Tuesday in the revamped mixed doubles event, despite a quick turnaround. 'Made it,' she said, as she touched down in New York. 'See you on the court, Casper Ruud.' Swiatek finished her match at around 8pm ET and, after fulfilling media commitments, made a quick dash to the airport to catch a private flight to New York. The 24-year-old is set to play in her team's first match at midday at Flushing Meadows and is scheduled to practice with Ruud at 11am – just 15 hours after her final victory. Swiatek and Ruud face the all-American pairing of Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe in the first round on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Swiatek admitted she was 'shocked' at her performance-level in Cincinnati this week. The six-time grand slam winner was clinical in the final, converting all six of her break points to clinch her 11th WTA 1000 crown and first since last year's Italian Open. "I want to thank my team. I don't know why I won tournaments that were like the last ones in terms of where I thought I would be playing well," Swiatek said. "Thank you for forcing me to become a better player and learning how to play on these faster surfaces. I'm shocked and super happy." Paolini made the brighter start, surging to a 3-0 lead and pushing Swiatek to the brink of a double break. Yet the Pole responded with a five-game run and, after squandering her first chance to serve out the opening set, closed it on her second attempt. Swiatek carried her momentum into the second set, saving two break points at 4-3 before holding firm to move within one game of the title. She sealed victory at the first opportunity with a big serve, extending her perfect record against the Italian to 6-0.
