I'm just so so happy to see Hunto fight someone. Anyone. I just want to see him fight.

I recall an article a couple of years ago where Hunt discussed the physical and neurological damage fighting had done him. Based on that he shouldn't be going anywhere near a competitive fight ever again. But he did say in the same article that financially he had no choice but to fight on.

Paul Gallen's chin seems as bomb proof as Hunts maybe even more so nowdays. TBH I would back Gallen to win this even though I'm not a fan of him in the slightest. Hunt is just simply too old and too many head knocks. Gallen probably has similar levels of CTE after decade or more of playing Rugby League though.

Hunt shouldn’t get punched in the face anymore.

This. He looked like he couldnt pull the trigger at all in that last fight of his too. For context that k1 fight where he dropped his hands and let sefo tee off on him was 2001. He took a monstrous about of punishment even pre ufc.

And he's 46. Hell, I'm 45 and I can get hurt if I don't sit on my couch properly.

He's like 40-1 vs. internet trolls on twitter since 2017.

Whilst Hunto should never fight again, this Galen is a roided ex-rugby league player, whose fought other league players, fringe contenders for journeymanship. and his last fight a lad from the AFL, which is like shitty gaelic football (massive fish). If Hunt's getting paid well, then he smashes this man.

I had to second-take that thread title. I was certain it wasn't that Hunt. But hey, congrats @Limbo Pete

Im going to be in the minority, but I think that’s bs when fighters say they have no choice but to keep fighting.

There’s plenty of manual labor or fighting trainer jobs out there, they just don’t want to adjust their lifestyle.
