I am not exactly a stranger to the gym, but the idea of swelling my body up to gigantic proportions does not appeal to me. I like to fit my clothing, thanks, and I can't imagine what I would use all that strength for on any given day. I can already open all the jars I need to!
But hey, some folks love to lift weights and get swole — I'm just not sure if they could possibly like it more than this guy.
Also his other nickname, the "Persian Hercules."
At 6'2" and a massive 385 pounds, the bodybuilder is certainly an imposing figure, not the sort of person whose shoe you'd want to step on in a crowded nightclub.
He's amassed almost a half million followers on Instagram, where he shows off his enormous biceps and breakfasts, and squeezes his massive frame into things like suits and cars.
Can you imagine what kind of special tailoring he needs to get done? There's a tailor somewhere in Iran who is very, very happy every time Sajad steps into his store.
I don't know what kind of car he drives, but I'd like to imagine it's a little two-seater car that expands three times its size and shrinks back down when he gets in and out of it, like in a cartoon.
He has a hunger for something more: putting those gargantuan hamhock fists to work in the ring. Which ring? He'll pretty much take any ring you put him in.
He's teased the idea of taking to the squared circle for the WWE in the past, and who knows, maybe he and Vince McMahon can work something out in the future.
"So I'm finally accepting my first professional fight from a Brazilian fighter before 2020," he wrote, not specifying who exactly his Brazilian opponent would be.
At least one UFC fighter has already mused on the idea of stepping into the octagon to face The Iranian Hulk, which shows a lot of bravery, because you couldn't pay me to get in the same ring as this guy.
Ortega has been the featherweight champion in the RFA, and is currently ranked #2 in the UFC featherweight rankings, so he's no small fry in the fighting world.
Even though he's 240 pounds lighter than the Persian Hercules, as well as six inches shorter, Ortega is confident he could take the big man down.
"Of course, you're gonna see me just get mauled up like a damn little chihuahua in the beginning," he continued. "But just when I ride that wave out, it's a done deal man. He'll gas out and he'll be mine."
Of course. Rumors have been spreading as thick and wide as Sajad's pecs about a matchup between the two monsters ever since Romario called out the Iranian Hulk on Instagram earlier this year.
He said, “I’m going to go up to 120kg and I’m going to give a message to you, the Iranian Hulk, who is challenging me. [...] I’m going to rip off your head.”
His head is kept atop a fortress of his own muscles. I couldn't even reach it, let alone rip it off. Not that I'd ever want to try.
There were all lined up to face off in a Polish MMA organization back in November 2018, but nothing has come of it six months later.
I'll tell you one thing, though — whatever ring the Iranian Hulk sets foot into is one I will be keeping myself very far away from.
I've seen The Avengers. I know what a Hulk can do.
Though at 6'2 and 385 pounds, I'm not sure how much luck is going to have to do with it. I feel like I've been beat up just looking at him.
