In just a little over a week, many of the top Strongman competitiors will be suiting up for battle at the Meydan Grandstand in Dubai on October 25, 2019. And this massive competition should be a spectacle as top athletes will face off for bragging rights and a nice $75,000 payout.
Now, last year, athletes participated in the following events at the competition and Hafthor Bjornsson came out on top of the heap to win the contest.
- Truck pull
- Arm over arm pull
- Silver dollar deadlift
- Yoke walk, press medley
- Atlas stones
But Bjornsson has opted out of the 2019 competition; however, we’ll still likely see the rest of the known elite Strongman competitiors at the show, including 4x World’s Strongest Man champion, 2018 World’s Strongest Man champion Martins Licis, and top contender Mateusz Kieliszkowski.

And the World’s Ultimate Deadlift competition will take place just a day before this event, on October 24. The event will stream live at 6 P.M. Gulf Standard Time from the same source.
