The UFC’s Performance Institute in Las Vegas has a high-tech machine – known as the ‘Power Cube’ – which measures the force of a hit in units.

It calculates a score based on numerous factors including strength and speed.

And the world record had previously been held by Ngannou, who recorded a score of 129,161 units in 2017.

At the time, UFC president Dana White compared it to being hit with the same force as a moving Ford Escort or 12lb sledgehammer.

Then, light-heavyweight champ Pereira smashed the record at 191,796.

But now former world’s strongest man has blown both out the water by clocking in a stunning score of 208,901.

Hall has been in training after being lined up for a stunning four-man MMA tournament in Qatar.

He was due to face Mitchell Hooper or Brian Shaw in February – until talks suddenly broke down.

Hall, 36, crossed over to boxing in 2022 but was beaten in a super-heavyweight exhibition against rival Hafthor Bjornsson, 35.

But he began training with interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, 31, for his MMA debut and revealed he got down to 25 stone.

Talks for an MMA fight continue as Hall called out strongmen duo Hooper and Shaw as well as 6ft 8in actor Martyn Ford.
