Oli Thompson (9-2) has looked impressive since switching over from international level strongman competition to mixed martial arts.
Former Britain's Strongest Man, Thompson bowed out of the sport after representing the UK in the World's Strongest Man competition and took up fighting as a way to channel his athleticism.
Just over two years into his professional career and Oli has now signed with the UFC and will make his debut against fellow Brit Phil Defries at UFC 138.
Working with Combat Ready Training for his conditioning and becoming a part of the team at the Wolfslair, Thompson will be preparing hard for the battle in Birmingham on November 5th, as this teaser clip shows.
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
