if mir get's in a good shape and goes for the takedown, he will probably win, if not hunt by KO
 
2 of my favorite fighters. But Mir has been one of my favorites since the early days so I gotta go with him even though I'm torn.
 
It's a coin toss.
Mir has the ability to get KTFO in 10 seconds, or to take the fight to the ground in 10 seconds.

I'm keeping away from this one.

That's the thing, I DON'T think Mir has the ability to get the fight to the ground in 10 seconds. I think getting the take down may be a bit tough, especially early in the first round. Hunt has looked in really great shape lately and as good as Mir's submissions are, his takedowns are kind of crap. I wouldn't be surprised to see him land them more freely outside of the first round and a half but I don't know about ten seconds in. We also don't know if Mir will be riding the high of the Duffee and Silva knock outs and his new boxing training.

Also, while I don't think Mir will have an easy time taking this fight to the ground I also don't think Hunt will run over Mir if they strike for a bit. Again, this could be a really competitive fun fight.

Edit: Also think Hunt has more heart than Mir and is less likely to fold unless he comes in overweight / bad cut. Even with less cardio, I wouldn't be surprised to see a late stoppage from Hunt. I think Hunt is more likely to try to 'turn it up' late than Mir is.

I know logic says Round 1 here, but I'd be very interested in the Round 2/3 or Decision/Points props.
 
if this goes past the 1st rnd this could be one sloppy ass fight
 
Hunt is a nightmare matchup for Mur
 
I have always been a Mir fan and I got to say there have been several times where I have wrote him off and he has won (The second Nog fight, The Duffee Fight, The Bigfoot fight.) but Hunt is one of my favorite fighters in MMA and I got to back him in this one by a KO.
 
they love giving hunt 5 rounders huh.

i vote for hunt. who knows what will happn
 
I expect Hunto to hurt poor Frankster... But I also think this fight could have Mir/Nog 2 type craziness potential.

Hunt RD1 (T)KO
 
Anybody with punching power and a good chin beats Mir. This is a sure bet for Hunt.
 
I think 2016 Hunt probably punches 2016 Mir's head into the third row. But I like their matchup of different skillsets and it's a fight I have wanted to see for years.
 
Stand: Hunt
Ground: Mir.

I said Hunt via counter attack Ko punches in the first round.
