Hunt will be a nice addition.

It would be nice to see Hunt in the UFC one day. The UFC’s HW division needs more talent.

The more and more news I read about DREAM, the more and more pissed I get that we can’t watch the events here in the US.

Hunt’s a monster. He can take a punch like no other

this is weak, hunt couldnt hack it in the fake wrestling world so he comes back to this mma crap

I was just gonna post the exact same thing. Hunt is one of my favourite HWs and to know that i wont get to watch his fights live and in good quality really makes me mad. But its better than not getting to see him at all, so i can’t complain.

Big ole’ cushy boxing gloves’’’ any kind of boxing is boring nowdays.

WHAT?!

I’ll die happy if I never hear another highlight video set to Linkin Park.

I was hoping for the “atomic butt drop” to debut in the UFC…

Guess I will have to wait and hope but it’s good to see the man back in action…

LOL @ the fake wrestling comment

Hunt may not be competitive on the ground, but in his defense he came very close to beating Fedor. I’d like him in the UFC; he’d be a good gatekeeper for eliminating scrubs.

FUCK YEAH HUNT IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big ole’ cushy boxing gloves’’’ any kind of boxing is boring nowdays.

Try taking a punch from Mark Hunt and see how cushy the gloves feel. And I personally think traditional boxing is pretty boring, but K-1 is far more exciting with kicks, knees, etc. The montage was pretty decent, I always love watching Mark Hunt fight. I was disappointed it didn’t include his mma fights with Mirko and Wanderlei. There aren’t many people in the world that can take a head-kick from Mirko and keep fighting, let alone win a decision. Despite his limited ground skills (which have improved considerably) he would have been a great addition to the UFC. I would love to see him fight Tim Sylvia.

i would have loved to seen him in the ufc but it is a good pick up for dream.i was wondering why there not trying to promote the fights in america yet, i think they are trying to get there rosters put together and there packaging of the fights than we will see them try to come this way.

I am a HUGE Mark Hunt fan, since DREAM wont be available on pay per view, I hope they release it on DVD

Can anyone tell me if Hero’s events that took place in Japan were made available on American pay per view?

I know that HDNET wont be airing the event, instead they will be showing the XFL…. BIG YAWN!!!!

Cro Cop should have to beat Mark Hunt in order to get back in the UFC. Why? because I am dying ot see Hunt beat cro cops ass all over a ring again! That fight was awesome! Everyone remembers how Fedor bullied cro cop, but many forget how Hunt bullied him…That fight was amazing. I really miss PRIDE Fc’s:
Shockwave events…Those events were awesome!

Anyone hear any news about if any of the PRIDE events will ever be released on DVD? If anyone hears anything about DVD release dates of the following Pride events please, please, please, please let me know:

Shockwave 2006
Absolute Grand prix (3 dvd set)
Unbreakable
The real deal
The second coming
Bushido 10-12

Besides those events the only other PRIDE event missing from my collection is K-1 invades Pride, that was a long time ago, correct me If I am wrong but was that Shockwave 2002?

i have only seen him fight twice.the fight with fedor was awesome,he had him in deep trouble.its to bad he couldnt pull off the upset.that would have been awesome if he had taken away fedirs belt.IMO that is fedors 2nd most impressive victory, next to the win over the monster K.Randleman. the decisions he has against BIG NOG & Cro cop are draws.win or lose all decisions IMO are draws,you got finish your opponent to win.so M.Hunt also has a draw against Cro cop.but i would still like to see him in the UFC.the Hwt div. neds him.

The more and more news I read about DREAM, the more and more pissed I get that we can’t watch the events here in the US.

I second that notion. Bring him here fight Lesnar!

I really like this guy, I still think he did 3rd best also agaisnt Fedor, topped only by CC and Nakamura. That Kimura man, I played out Fedor tapping in my head like 100 times in that half a second, just wasnt to be.

I second that notion. Bring him here fight Lesnar!

i don’t think lesnar is ready for him.

Hunt’s a monster. He can take a punch like no other

i agree, but Cabbage is a close second IMO

Hunt would devestate the UFC HW Division.

Big Nog, Tim Silvia, Kongo, Couture.. none of you wanna be locked in that cage with ‘The Hammer’. Trust me!!
The brothers from my neighbourhood and grew up down the road from me.

F^%@#n Mangere Styles!!

dreams is turning out to be a great promotion, if they keep getting all the free agents from pride their set. PRIDE IS BACK! I need to see if they’ll show it here in brazil, than I’ll be happy :)

I know most of you guys don’t agree, but a ring is just so much more pleasant to me, add a couple of great fighters to the mix, and you’ll have a promotion that I’ll probably watch more than the UFC.

He’s a super hevywieght. He’d have to lose a lot of wieght to get in under 265, to be in the UFC.

 sherdog has him listed at 250 so he is eligable for the UFC Hwt div.

Ahh the big islander is back in the mix. Should be a good fight against the giant and I am really looking forward to seeing Hunt and CroCop fight in a few months.

Hunt, Barnett, Fedor, CroCop, Randy, Alexander E, Arlovski …. imagine if someone could secure these guys in the one spot.

I agree with ‘linx’. Always said a ring is much better than a cage.

The cage is more of a gimmick to attract that ‘mob mentality’ fan that isn’t happy until they see blood.

A ring requires much more skill, you can’t just lean on a guy and bully him into the cage then wail on em’.

“Stop, Back in the middle, ok,, Bang em out!”

That head kick that Hunt took from Cro Cop was unbelievable, im suprised he doesnt have brain damage from that…

Why is John Belushi in the ring wearing a crown?

My only problem with fighting in a ring is that I feel it is too small for mma. The size difference between a ring and the Octagon is an underestimated aspect of switching from fighting in a cage to a ring.

I rather enjoy the smaller space, it keeps from someone running around and trying to avoid contact (it happens), although the only advantage that I like about the octagon is that it gives room to counter strikers such as liddell and machida. But other than that I only see flaws, in a ring it is equal advantage for both strikers and grapplers, once you get someone in the canvas they’ll have to work themselves up without the help of a cage, sweeping so they’ll have to be more technical.

In a different note, I also liked the 10 minute first round in pride, I wonder if dreams will be the same way. Does anybody know?

 i agree the cage is better suited for MMA.i hate it when a fight is stopped so they can move back to the centre of the ring. i would rather see a fighter use the cage to his advantage, by GnP from the top or pushing off it from the bottom to get into better position for escaping or sub.

i would like to see a rematch between fedor and M.Hunt. some people are saying that J.Barnett is the best opponent for fedor outside the UFC,but i think M.Hunt would be more entertaining.maybe they should fight eachother to see who gets fedor.

i know one thing after watchin that highlight video, mark hunt wouldn’t wanna offer free punches to HW’s in the ufc, if he did, with those little gloves, he’d get his lights turned out

Lol, Hunt’s not even close to that.

I also am hoping that Dream brings back the 10 minute 1st round, but I have no idea if they will or not. My thing with the ring is that its a little to easy to trap your opponent in the corner. Also its so annoying when the fight goes to the ground because the person loosing the ground battle just sticks his head outside the ring, then the refs have to stop the fight, move them to the center. Too much fight stopping involved in mma that takes place in a ring!

Didnt Barnett already beat Hunt in the open weight Grand Prix? I could be wrong because I never really saw the tournament. Its not out on DVD so I only got to watch some of the fight video’s on the NET!

 i dont know i didnt see the tourny either. if thats the case then i guess Barnett deserves the match.
does any one know where A .Karitonov is
hes a Hwt that seems to be forgotten.

John, my personal opinion, it was very rare for someone to stick their head on purpose outside the ring. This used to happen a lot before 2000, but from then on I can’t remember it happening too often.

But the fight would get stopped if the fighters were unintentionally scrambled to the side of the ring, but I really enjoyed that, IMO it gives them more energy to start over in the center and may bring more life to the fight.

But this is really a matter of taste. People in the US may be more used to the cage and therefore like the cage over the ring because they were introduced to the UFC first and got used to it. Seeing a fight in the ring might not “look right” to them.

But for me, people that got so used to seeing a fight inside the ring makes us want to keep seeing it that way, because we got used to it and seeing the fight inside a cage just does not “look right”. In addition, I just really think the fights inside the ring are more explosive than inside the octagon (the rules helps a lot too).

Priceless

Hunt walks around at 126 Kg = Pounds?

wouldn’t be to hard for Mark to drop 10 or 15 pounds.

Also – “Using the cage” to your advantage does not give a true representation of who the better fighter is. Put them in the middle where theres nothing around to get in the way and lets see who’s the toughest.

Mark Hunt needs to fight K1 or any format that does not require
ground fighting He could box heavyweight and I do not know who
would go toe to toe with him but would be interesting to see
