“Iranian Hulk” joins Syrian army to take on ISIS
Sajad Gharibi, better known as the Iranian Hulk, for obvious reasons, is a 24-year-old weightlifter who weighs more than 330 pounds. He can lift up to 386 pounds. Oh, and he has a bone to pick with ISIS.
According to a BBC report, the strongman has signed up to join Iranian forces to fight with the Assad regime in Syria against ISIS.
Can you even imagine going up against this dude? I wouldn’t be surprised if ISIS fighters dropped their weapons and surrendered as soon as they felt his earth-shaking footsteps approaching.
