I actually agree here
Apparently (according to Dana), Hunt turned down the JDS fight.
Really? That's kind of surprising. Hasn't he been requesting a Top 5 opponent?
I heart cock
I dont know what ot make of that. From what I read Hunt stated he wanted the JDS fight. maybe he is inured or maybe hunt is hoping to get in a full training camp. That would explain why he might turn it down. Hunt could shoot for getting a win and then fighting for the title.

-DanaMark Hunt and I just got off the phone and had a GREAT conversation!!
I saw Mark Hunt didnt turn down the fight, but wanted more money to fight JDS....which makes sense.
Gotta respect Hunt. He gets in through the backdoor via some old pride contract. Everyone says he will get bounced out after 2 fights. He loses his first fight then beats everyone and gets a title shot. Then he demands more money. Watch him win. It wouldn't be that crazy. He has a super strong jaw and hits like a ton of bricks plus hes a former K1 champ. I wouldn't be suprised to see JDS try and take him down, especially after getting wrestle fucked by Cain. He has probably been drilling his wrestling like crazy since then.

I think it's certainly POSSIBLE that Hunt can land a KO shot and win, but I don't consider it likely. JDS should be -350 at least.

I am interested to see what kind of shape hunt shows up in. I never get it when these guys show up with what looks like a beer belly. Wouldnt you want to be in the best shape possible if you were putting your ass on the line? I dont know why they arent all on the dolce diet even if they dont have to cut. I bet the health benefits of is diet would improve performance.

I'll say -450
I might lay something on Hunt. Or a good bet might even be JDS by submission. I think he's a black belt and if the fight goes 5 rounds Hunt will get tired. I wouldn't be suprised to see JDS use some wrestling either. Hunt has a big weakness on the ground.

Won't be a 5 round fight....it's going to be the co-main event of Cain/Bigfoot.
I wish Cain, GSP, and Jones all fought in a 3-4 week time span. That's a parlay lock of the century.
I didn't see a whole lot of quality ground work when Cain took JDS down, he mostly tried to scoot to the fence and get up and when he couldn't get up he didn't look so good. It may have something to do with just having had his face caved in, but I don't really think JDS is the kind of guy who puts a whole lot of time into grappling sessions during camp.

I felt the same way but he still is a black belt and hunt is mediocre on the ground, if that.

I fear you may be putting too much stock in paper credentials again. Hunt just toughed it out on the ground for quite a while with Struve, who despite being a brown belt to JDS' black belt, has been a much more effective grappler in MMA. JDS hasn't really needed to grapple a whole lot, but Struve has been a very sound fighter on the ground both with ground and pound and submissions. Belt color aside, in a straight up grappling match I would take Struve to beat JDS.

Struve still went for the armbar without the arm. You might be right though.

I think it's because he was exhausted and had absolutely no respect for Hunt's ground game...I really think he went into that fight thinking he would instantly sub Hunt once it went to the mat.
i agree. at the end of the day, the guy has terrible fight iq. struve vs jds pure grappling, i would pick jds tho. hes stronger, more athletic and probably gonna dominate position. unless struve can sub jds from bottom. jds bbj is probably better than Hunt. jds just got his black belt, iirc.
