A lot of people seem to ride high on Hunt because of his tenure in pride, but frankly, he hasn't had a spectacular run in the UFC. He has been outclassed several times, and his loss to Sean McCorkle is a glaring hole on his record. I like him because he is a fun stand up banger, but he doesn't deserve all the hype he gets for his skill set.
I like Hunt and I'll watch him fight anyone but these are stupid fights for the ufc to make for a guy looking to "retire" aka move to Bellator, keep him away from guys who actually have momentum and match him vs newer prospects who can score a huge win or lose to a legend and learn is smart business.
