VIDEO: Game of Thrones’ star ‘The Mountain’ gets owned by arm wrestling champ

He can be beaten

Ben Kenyon

Strength isn’t everything.

Hafthor Bjornsson is two-time Europe’s Strongest Man, is 6ft 9in and weighs 190kg. He’s known around the world as The Mountain from Game of Thrones.

Being such a behemoth, you’d think he’d absolutely wipe the floor with a man almost half his size.

But in 100kg arm wrestling champion Devon Larratt he really met his match.

The two men took each other one in one-armed combat, but the Icelandic monster got his arse handed to him with relative ease.

In this Devon and Goliath fight, brute strength came second.
