The Mountain From 'Game Of Thrones' Destroyed In Arm Wrestling Match By Devon Larratt

By @GeorgeJFox

A professional athlete has an advantage on their own turf, but this physical mismatch of Goliath proportions turns logic on its head.

WAL Heavyweight Champion Devon Larratt is 6'5" tall and 225 lbs. At 6'9" and 419 lbs, Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson who plays Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane on "Game Of Thrones" is dang near twice the size of Larratt.

I was pulling for the giant, but when the masterful technique and training of Larratt overwhelm the Icelandic strongman soon shattered the fantasy.

Smiling through the whole match, Larratt asks the big man to watch while he casually pulls him over left and right handed.

It's like Bull Harley vs. Lincoln Hawk in "Over the Top" except with zero struggle.
