Is Mark Hunt currently in his prime?

[Limbo Pete]

wasn't he in a pretty bad place before the stipe fight?

His brother killed himself the december between the Werdum and Miocic fights.

yes, that is what i meant.
that mark hunt was probably fighting at 20%.

Physically? Almost definitely not. But that really doesn't seem to amount to much in todays Zombie HW division. His changes to his mental game and fight preparation have taken him really far. Hunto's a bad ass.

Physical prime? Not even close. MMA skill and technique prime? Most definitely.

This. Well said he is way more well rounded now as fighter and even mentally along with being more fight prepared compared to his Pride days.

Mark Hunt is eternal - there is no beginning, no peak and no end.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

no, both physical and in terms of fight ability. I'd say his fight ability was prime about three years ago, and physically quite some years before that. This is just the state of the HW division.

War hunt though. one of my absolute favorite fighters atm.

He is probably the 2nd best striker in the division after Overeem. Maybe the 2nd best there has ever been.
