Man-mountain and Instagram sensation the "Iranian Hulk" is set for his combat sports debut in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) next year.

The promotion announced the news after its Saturday event, and while there is no official date or opponent, BKFC confirmed it will happen and will be marketed under a seriously provocative banner.

"He's literally our biggest signing we've ever had," BKFC boss David Feldman told MMA Fighting post-event. "This guy is going to make his BKFC debut in early 2020. We're going to do a show titled 'USA vs Iran: World War III'.

"He's going to make a home here and we expect really, really big things from the 'Iranian Hulk'," Feldman added.

Having accepted his challenge, I soon realized that this coward Brazilian Romario( brazilian hulk) refused to fight with me in the cage. I should have known he wouldn't have the guts to face me. He wanted to knock my head off what a hilarious joke! I wish I could have faced him in the cage so that I could crush his head under my feat. Anyhow, I'm excited for a good challenge. Whoever comes, I'll be ready. Let me put it in a nutshell whoever dares to challenge me I'll destroy him. بعد از اینکه من چالش و دعوت مبارزه را قبول کردم متوجه شدم روماریوی ترسوی هالک برزیلی جا زده است و از ترسش حاضر به مبارزه با من در قفس نیست ، از همان اول هم شوخی خنده داری بود که این بچه گفت سر من را جدا خواهد کرد امیدوار بودم که او را در قفس له میکردم که دیگر جرات نکند حرف بزرگتر از دهانش بزند . به هر حال ما در اوج آمادگی هستیم برای مبارزه و حتما به بهترین پیشنهاد جواب مثبت خواهیم داد . هر کس که بخواهد من را به چالش بکشد به بدترین شکل پایان او را رقم خواهم زد . تاکیید میکنم روماریو ترسوی برزیلی حتی از روبرو شدن با من قبل مسابقه هم هراس داشت در هر صورت من برای مسابقه اخر سال میلاد کاملا آماده هستم

The 390-pound wrestler-turned-bodybuilder " real name Sajad Gharibi " had been scheduled to debut in an MMA superfight this year but the bout was cancelled.

Earlier in the year, Polish MMA organisation KSW had teased a fight between 27-year-old Gharibi and English bodybuilder-turned-actor Martyn Ford, dubbed "the scariest man on the planet", in what would have been undoubtedly the heaviest pair of fighters ever to share the cage.

The Iranian was also in talks to face his namesake "Brazilian Hulk" " Romario dos Santos Alves " a similarly muscular bodybuilder. While Gharibi made the announcement on social media, this story-line has also fizzled out.

Gharibi shot to fame in 2016 after the BBC produced a video of him vowing to join Iranian forces to fight against Isis.

Rumours of a transition in to combat sports began thereafter but Gharibi has yet to step into the cage.
