Who next for Mark Hunt

WHITE LIES said:
2 exciting technical brawlers with no ground game. Both undersized heavyweights.

It's gonna be really funny to see Patrick Berry shoot for the takedown after a few exchanges. :D

No ground game? Did you see Hunt last night? I'm not saying he's Werdum out there, but he showed a very significant improvement. Not many people can play with Stuve on the ground that long and survive.
 
Honestly, I think thee best thing for Hunt and his War Wagon of fans would be to fight another 10-15 ranked guy, sit and watch UFC 160 to play out. Things could really open up for him...
 
Mark Hunt just beat #9 in Stefan Struve.

Shouldn't he be moving up the ladder and not downwards?
 
I was just wondering who you all think is next for Mark Hunt.

I think the fight most fans would like to see is a slug fest between Hunt and Nelson that fight I think would be made extra interesting because they are two of the hardest hitting ko artists but also have stone chins.

The other fight I would like to see is Mark Hunt vs Frank Mir because that would test to see how much Hunts ground game has improved and also it could be similar to the Struve fight as in Frank Mir has a suspect chin and would be in danger anytime the fight was standing.

Hunt was able to survive on the ground because of his strength. I saw no technical improvements but that's mostly because there were no (good) sub attempts from Struve.

In Berry's last fight (or was it 2 fights ago?) he was able to survive a choke, I'd say Hunt and Berry are pretty much on the same level on the ground.
 
This fight needs to happen, to determine the better chin
 
Pat barry doesn't deserve to fight mark hunt
 
I very much doubt they'll give him Mir unless he somehow beats DC. And even then... I doubt it. Not a fight I particularly want to see.

I'd definitely be interested in the Roy Nelson fight though.

If Hunt can avoid TD's Vs. Roy AND puts him away... well I mean that'd be a serious statement. Nelson is a GRITTY bastard.
 
Would have loved to see Hunt vs Overeem, JDS, BF or Mir. Nelson isnt bad either but he needs someone higher up imo. Cain and cormier are just bad match ups. Werdum could be interesting if he fights smart.

Lots of fights for Hunt right now, hes worked his way pretty high up imo

idk how you think he deserves a #1 contender fight..he would get demolished by cain or jds..big country would put him down and i dont think he would beat reem, bigfoot, or werdum
 
He can fight winner of werdum nog. If he wins he fights for the belt.
 
He shouldn't waste his time with anyone less than the top 10, given his incredible progress. The fight with Roy makes the most sense stylistically and in regards to rank. Have no idea why Roy is fighting Kongo. What does he gain by fighting a guy outside of the top 10?
 
Barry could hurt Hunt. Dude has some major power. I'd like to see the fight but Hunt does deserve someone higher ranked after the last 3 guys he beat.
 
Pat Barry is fighting Shawn Jordon next and he would die if he fought Hunt. Which I'm not really against.
