Brian Shaw is a competitor and plans to attack MMA like he did Strongman, with all that he has got.
“I will approach this just like I have approached anything else in my life. You put this in front of me, give me a deadline, give me an MMA match, I’m going in to win. I am going in to dominate. I feel as though you can put anybody in front of me and I am going to figure out a way to make this happen.”
Brian Shaw Shares Plan To Take On MMA
Brian Shaw has also shown an interest in arm wrestling but has not taken that on fully just yet. Instead, he will focus on training to hit the ring in an MMA fight.
“I had no clue that I was going to be presented with an opportunity to get into MMA fighting. I thought it was something that wasn’t real and it did get m attention because there is a contract involved.
I started to think about what I would gain from doing this. I did want to drop weight and this is something that will force me to do that. In turn, I also get to learn. I get to go back to being a beginner. It is very stimulating for me.”

Shaw signed a contract where he will compete in the open weight class. This means that there will not be a cap on weight. He is excited to take on this new challenge and become dangerous in the ring.
“With what I am learning right now, I think the danger level for anyone going against me is going to be ver, very high. It is going to get very exciting as we lead up to this coming in early 2024.”
