This was the fourth amateur battle for those who became famous when he played the character of "The Mountain" in the "Game of Thrones" series, with his balance still clean of losses.
Bjornson, 33, who nearly quarreled with Hall at the pre-fight weigh-in event, seemed more friendly with his opponent at the end of the fight and the two even hugged.
After the Icelandic victory he was asked if the conflict with Hall was left behind, and replied: "Naturally he is a bit angry, he lost the fight so there are a lot of emotions right now. I was on his side, but right now I'm happy. If he wants a rematch in the ring, no problem."
Bjornson, who recently stated that he would be happy to develop his playing career in "full-time", managed to knock Hall down more than once during the fight, including a strong left in front of the opponent during the third round.
