DREAM 5: Fomer PRIDE heavyweight Mark Hunt to appear?

by Jesse Holland on Jun 25, 2008 12:22 PM EDT

While nothing has been announced, it's interesting to see the face of former PRIDE heavyweight Mark Hunt (5-3) on the promotional banner for DREAM 5, which coincidentally features a heavyweight showdown between Mirko Cro Cop -- who also appears on the banner -- and Jerome LeBanner -- who does not.

Hmmm ...

I also hear that Hunt will fight Sergei. I dont know who I would root for since they are 2 of my favorite heavyweights!

I hope that this fuight gets booked! I guess they are looking to replace the Mach vs. Diaz fight

Awesome. He has had some wicked fights in Pride.

Hoping he’s at his best when he gets back in the ring cos if he is he can give anyone a fight on a good day. He’s fought some highly rated fighters considering the small number of fights he has had and if its kharitonov then that will make an already impressive card even better.

Can’t wait for this one!

haha,ha Hunt ce opet probati sa istom taktikom. Pokušati će nametnuti pritisak Mirku. Istu je takvu taktiku savjetovao i Gonzagi. “samo naprijed i ne puštaj ga da se razmaše” , ali ovaj put čisto sumljam. Mirko ce ga razbit. Jedva čekam.

Mirko samo naprijed sa treninzima, uspijeh sigurno neće izostati.
