Hunt vs Werdum is a hope for the best but expect the worst kind of fight cause he's going up against a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he had an undisclosed injury from the Roy Nelson fight in addition to fighting on 3 weeks notice, having to cut 50 pounds, fighting at a funny elevation, and still having to fight a good fighter in Fabricio Werdum. But I still believe

That mention is way too marginal. It's the biggest fight in UFC history. (Maybe)

While searching for new Hunt pictures from Hunt's Japanese super fan, I saw that he posted a thread in the Underground and it got zero replies. The UG sucks.quote:Hello, everyone. I'm HASSY. Big fan of MARK HUNT.

See I never thought Mark Hunt fighting for the UFC heavyweight championship was silly or unfeasible. When he first came over and lost to McCorkle on the prelims, yeah, he looked to be finished, but I think the Kongo fight was a turning point. He looked sharp and beat the poo poo out of Kongo quickly. It looked like two different levels of fighters in there. Which I know, beating Cheick Kongo doesn't mean a whole lot these days, but from there I figured he was already better than the field at HW. It would only be a matter of time. Then he went on to have some really close and fun fights with other top heavyweights. So I do think Hunt vs Cain for the real belt could happen with no shenanigans involved, the problem is Hunt is 40. gently caress.

Despite being 400 pounds and old and probably super punchy, Mark Hunt is probably healthier than Cain Velazquez on any given day.

Who would have guessed that one day lil 'ol Mark Hunt would reach the heights of being a late replacement in an interim title match.

The results of Saturday's test will not be known for approximately two weeks, is it any coincidence that approximately two weeks from now Mark Hunt is fighting for a world title??? the lord works in mysterious ways...

If he's walking around Mexico City in the heat then he's probably already halfway to making weight and probably reasonably well adjusted to the altitude. You get off the plane in Mexico City and run out of breath before leaving the airport.

i'm not too worried about hunt's cardio. he went 5 extreme rounds in the bigfoot fight, and luckily fatigue doesn't stop him from hitting really hard or being really strong. how did werdum look in the travis brown fight? i missed that somehow.

Browne gassed out, possibly due to a broken rib in the first and werdum just kinda clowned on him for 5 rounds.

MAybe that might be more what's at issue?

Apparently it goes like this: Ricci misses weight, and even though he doesn't look particularly drained he chooses not to try to lose the extra couple of pounds. On the spot, Yoshida is asked to take a catchweight bout and agrees. In the morning Yoshida discovers that the fight is no longer for the title, a detail he was not aware of. At the prospect of fighting a heavier guy who didn't have a tough cut without the potential reward of the belt, Yoshida decides to pull out. Lex McMahon, CEO of Titan FC, fires Yoshida. Lex McMahon is Mike Ricci's manager.
