    I think Hunt has more than a punchers chance against JDS. Every single one of his punches can put anyone in the world on queer street, and he is looking fit as **** now.

      At least Hunt or Hendo have a small chance of catching JDS when he lets his hands go for an epic underdog win. Mir has no TD ability and porous striking defence. With an outstanding sprawl & brawler in JDS, that fight is a wrap even before the octagon door closes.

      Keep Mir vs Cain as Dana has alluded to. Let Hunt or Hendo fight to keep the structure of the main card in tact (give Struve a solid opponent like Mitrione). It's better for Mir in the long run because he's more likely to beat Cain than JDS and infinitely more likely to beat Hunt or Hendo (deeper into a fight) than Junior.
      I know it sounds crazy for any of us to be thinking this, but I would LOVE to see hunt or hendo in there, especially hunt... It would be a true 'cinderrella story' per se and its really not a horrible match up. We have yet to see a striker beat him in a stand up batttle (wellll, minus manhoef). I know its crazy, but i'd give him a solid chance against jds if jds were planning to stand and bang...although I'm sure jds wouldn't throw caution into the wind like that and would have a varied gameplan for this fight.

      It sounds crtazy and absurd, which it is, but I really would love to see hunt and stylistically it could perhaps make for an intriguing match up. Shame cormier and barnette are still wrapped up in their tourney otherwise they'd be obvious candidates....

      Perhaps ufc and m-1 might be knocking on each other's doors and we see mr. fedor finally make a zuffa debut?

      All in all though a shittty fall out, would have loved to seen reem / jds and make money on jds showing the world that reem has been on a can crushing spree for the most part since his move to HW long ago... I think it would have been a cool fight and its a shame reem blew it like this. And I'm serious when I say that I want that sherdog clown mod 'ronwah' to un-ban all the people who made speculation against reem lol...

        Isn't that the definition of a punchers chance?

          I would love to see hunt win the title because he's a really awesome person, but JDS is probably too much for hunt, especially in a 5 rounder. JDS would just have to avoid getting KO'd in the first 2 rounds, and then he could sail away with it in the later rounds on the score cards. I wonder what fight to go the distance odds would be? because I don't see either of these guys getting KO'd. I think Hunt will be standing on his last legs swinging for the fences in the closing minutes while JDS scores points with jabs, hooks, and leg kicks. Still a very interesting match up because of the rocky balboa factor hunt brings to the table.

                  Seems completely legitimate. The commission made a big mistake on this one.

                      Appearently he was on TRT. Which is legal as long as he notifies the commission 20 days before the fight.

                        This story makes complete sense. How dare the Nevada drug testing facilities not take into account the fact that overeeem is the real life Jason bourne for the Chinese Government. Everyone knows white whine is the secret to getting jacked, that's why you see all of those middle age women walking around shredded like the terminator. I can't believe the nerve of the Nevada athletic commission. First they blame the honorable Chael Sonnen for doping illegally, and now they try to nail Overeem for sipping back on a few bottles of white wine. What is the world coming to? Let's get it on!

                              Same here. I have 2u on JDS at -240 (stupid stupid play, grabbed way early as I fell for hype) But I have alot of parlays with fight to not go distance .
                              I will hedge with Overeem Inside the Distance

                                  If alistar didn't actually take roids or cheat why is he still being replaced. Oh well should be an easy fight for jds. He has good anti wrestling and his striking if leaps and bounds better then mir's All in all this is a horrible decision by white. I mean seriously how many of you were thinking gee i sure would like to see jds versus a past his prime mir

                                    you can't get your test levels at 14-1 by drinking wine. Overeem was obviously taking substantial amounts of steroids.

                                      I wouldnt say Mir is past his prime. But still, isn't a good fight stylistically for him.

                                              No idea, Silva not confirmed yet either, but it looks like he will be taking that fight.

                                                  So Pity we will not see JDS vs Overeem. It would be a great stand up fight.

                                                        I would just yank Roy off that card now. This whole all HW theme is stupid. Dunham/Barboza should be on the main card anyway.

                                                        If not Roy vs. Meathead or Travis Browne would be good to me. Browne seems like he would like to get back in there quick, said he'd face any of them at 146.
