FUKKK i was gonna make bank on that fight

[MD]

It's not all bad; now we get to make bank on this fight.

[mirinquads]

What are you thinking? WerD00m seems like he should be a pretty big favorite, i do hope Hunt knocks him stiff though. Hunt with the belt would be the funniest shit.

Also Strip Glass Can of the real belt.

[MD]

Confirmed that Velasquez suffered a meniscus injury on his right knee.

[mmaed]

I would love to see hunt as champion

[marzwoody]

Would love to see Hunt starch Werdum.

Guys, someone brought up on Twitter the possibility of Hunt defending the UFC heavyweight title against Andrei Arlovski in 2015. Shit just got real.

[JIBBBY]

WOW!!!! Cain you Mexican bastard!!!! That fight was a lock!!!!!

Mark Hunt knocks out Werdum standing if the fight doesn't get to the ground in a hurry... Still like the under in that match up too..

I'm about to receive ALOT of refunded bets from this...

AA moves too well and is far too athletic for Hunt.. Werdum is certainly the weak link in this discussion for all fight match ups....

Remember when everyone thought Travis Browne was gonna KO Werdum?

Arlovski wins the title and faces Brendan Schaub who is bent on revenge.

Big Brown becomes heavyweight champ of the world.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

close to every champion has had surgery or been injured being forced to pull out of a fight in 2014

[JIBBBY]

Good point...

Still betting against Werdum in any of these match ups.. The Mark Hunt match up makes me a bit nervous though... Roy Nelson took down Hunt and took his back.. That happens with Werdum and it could be game over.. Werdum has been training to face a wrestler too in Cain and we have to keep that in mind..

I wanted to bold the more retarded quote, but I can't pick one. I suppose it would have to be the second one, for implying that Werdum would lose to both Hunt and Arlovski.

I was very sure Cain V was gonna beat the crap of Werdum that's all know......

[marzwoody]

Werdum should have this. but there's always the possibility of Hunt getting the KO.

[Rubber Guard]

Werdum could win.

Hunt could knock him out.

I don't think it will go to the ground and if it does, it will be because Hunt took it there.

[mirinquads]

Cheese with the zing

[MD]

You're wrong.

[latarianmilton]

Jesus.
Mark hunt is coming to mexico, i really gotta get some tickets now.

[Vaughany]

Jesus and Mark Hunt? They aren't fighting eachother are they? would be a massacre

[JIBBBY]

I don't think it will go to the ground and if it does, it will be because Hunt took it there.

Even if Hunt gets taken down, we must all forget what we saw because it really didn't happen.. MD will confirm this....

Nothing like a meta joke to give you an opportunity to remind us all that you have no idea what's going on around you most of the time.

[mmaed]

Have to favor werdum here. Does anyone see hunt as the favorite?

No chance

[Wilbo86]

If mark hunt wins I will erect a statue of his likeness in my living room and an altar at which low, mid and top teir HWs will be ritually sacrificed.

[marzwoody]

Jesus loves knockouts.

[JIBBBY]

Anyone fighting Hunt has a good chance of being Knocked out.. That certainly includes Werdum early on.. Hunt is a large man and hits like a wrecking ball... Just ask Roy Nelson... I have a new respect for the large Kiwi... Old man can still take a punch too.

If Werdum can close the distance and stay in the clinch and work for a take down and get it, Mark Hunt will be done.. Big if...

[Crassus]

I was very sure Cain V was gonna beat the crap of Werdum that's all know......

I was going to bet Werdum huge. Cain hasn't fought enough people to justify how heavy of a favorite he was. FabDum is also absolutely going to choke Hunt-o out.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

[JIBBBY]

Hunt +200 hmmmm? Will that line go up or down come fight time?

Might give Mark Hunt a try at +200... Prop for the Hunt KO is in my mind if the odds are better.. Werdum by Sub prop for back up I gotta check too...

The prop bet - fight will not go the distance is a slam dunk me tinks... If favorable I'll give that prop a big ride..

Like he did Travis Browne right? Werdum's gastank blows c'ck. If it wasn't for Hunto taking this on three weeks notice i'd happily place some coin on Hunto, this being at elevation in ''me'hico'' @ three weeks notice means i wont. But make no mistake if Hunt touches Werdum with one of those uppercuts Werdum will faceplant worse then Roy did.

Also, Werdum vs Cain ''the machine'' Valesquez would be worst imaginable matchup you could ever create for Werdum. And it will end when Werdum can't absorb anymore punishment. And i definetly don't see Werdum hanging around for the kind of beatings that JDS took.

Werdum's best chance against Cain would be to jump guard and hope and pray like hell that Cain for the first time in his career would be dumb enough to put himself in danger on the ground by jumping after.

Because Travis Browne is really similar to Mark Hunt. Travis Browne got arm-barred by Sean McCorkle. Also, "the machine" has fought 2 people in four years, his striking and lack of power are an excellent match-up with Werdum and his threat of wrestling is not as nearly as poignant because, as you said, he'd be stupid to go to the ground with Werdum. The dude threw the kitchen sink and everything he had in 50 damn minutes with JDS and he barely took him out.
