Who's the smallest dude to KO Mark Hunt?

[mmacasualviewer]

Mark Hunt was the smallest dude to KO Struve and Roy Nelson. But what about at the other end. Did a Couture (obviously Couture didn't fight those types of fighters during his UFC runs) or someone like that KO a Mark Hunt ever?

Melvin Mahoef in under 20 seconds flat. Albeit it was K1.

I was watching old Mark Hunt fights from his kickboxing days a couple months ago. He fought Ernesto Hoost to a decision I and all the commentators thought he clearly won but he was robbed. I also watched, I think it was Hunt vs Tsuyoshi Nakasako...Dude dropped Hunt hard a few times, at one point you heard his shin clatter off Hunt's skull and Hunt faceplanted...then got up and began beating the shit out of Nakasako. Hunt doesn't have that in him anymore, Hunt used to be a lot faster and athletic too.

I didn't claim otherwise.

I figured you meant under k-1 rules.

Manhoef is probably the hardest puncher to ever fight in mma (both p4p and literally) its crazy that he could have fought his entire career at 185

Not sure if there's that much difference, though - he got up and went back to beating because he had had 8 seconds to recover....

In MMA guy like Werdum, who is death from the top position is on him like a flies on a dead dog in a second.

Hunt threw his punches as far away as some wrestlers shoot distant takedowns. Not smart and paid for it.

Yes, I get that but it's pretty clear Hunt doesn't take a shot like he used to. He used to shake head kicks off like they were a gnat. Now when he gets rocked, he tends to stay rocked and then get finished.

Manhoef is one of the most overrated Strikers I've ever seen. He kickboxed at Heavyweight because he relied on his speed, when he fights smaller faster guys he usually got exposed throughout his career.

42 years old... Competing, getting his shit beaten out of him, while being at very unhealthy weight and fat level entire time.

Cannot be easy on the body. :/

He needs to retire, the amount of head trauma he has taken over the decades is astounding.

That Nakasako fight was crazy as fuck, vintage Mark Hunt performance

Smallest or only?
