Just 24 hours later, the 28-fight MMA veteran responded to claims he tapped out to strikes against Hall.

“Let the experts see this,” Pudzianowski captioned cageside footage taken during his latest bout.

“I don’t resent Eddie Hall – The Beast – one bit because there’s excitement in the fight etc. And I’ll invite one or other gentleman who talks about tapping and I’ll give him a backhand four times and ask him if he knows where he is!!! And let the experts see it for themselves.

“Eddie did what he did, the first time he stepped into the cage – he won ok he was better!!!. But where was the referee? …………………. 150kg guy was stroking. Hmm till I got on my knees.”

What’s next for Mariusz Pudzianowski?Pudzianowski made a MMA retirement admission ahead of his ‘World’s Strongest Fight’ with Hall.

“I’m nearing the end of my career, the end of this episode called ‘sport’ and, at some point, I will have to start a normal life,” he said.

“I’m certainly going to keep training, but no longer as a professional athlete. We’ll see what happens next.”

When Hall suggested they rematch during his post-fight interview, Pudzianowski hinted at retirement again.

“I’m not thinking about the future,” he admitted.

“I turned 48, almost 49. The sport is for young people.

“What’s next? I don’t know.”
