While his martial arts skills are an unknown quantity, merely being underneath this guy on full mount would be terrifying. Should he make a splash on his debut, it's a short guess how long it'd take for Dana White to jump in on the action.
Gharibi, who describes himself as a "living shield for Iran", once pledged to help the fight against ISIS.
"I will always be a soldier for my country."
"The second thing is that, after Ramadan, I hope to start up my training again and reach my goal, in two or three years, to be in good enough shape to be of service to my country."
But now it seems a career in the cage has become too appetising for the man mountain.
Whispers of a bout against "Brazilian Hulk" Romario dos Santos Alves swirled earlier in the year. While Gharibi didn't confirm the name of his opponent, it appears clear who he will be facing.
"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," dos Santos Alves posted on Instagram
"I'm going to go up to 120 kilos and you're going to go down to 120kg. I'm going to rip off your head."
The Brazilian Hulk's challenge comes after a superfight showdown between Gharibi and British terror Martyn Ford were first linked to a showdown in 2019.
The tribal tattooed freak has transformed himself from a skinny wannabe cricket star to bodybuilder — and at 6-foot-8 and 143kg he left the world salivating over a potential showdown with the Iranian Hulk.
