JDS -600

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.

[edman5555]

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.

[edman5555]

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.

[edman5555]

I wouldn't be surpised to see JDS try and submit a gassed Hunt. I think Hunts cardio isn't close to the level of JDS. As bad as JDS was ragdolled by Cain he still stayed in there for 25 minutes with the heavyweight that has the best cardio in the division in what was basically a wrestling match. It would be a good strategy for JDS to go out there and wrestle Hunt in order to exhaust him. Why fight to Hunts strengths and stand with him? He is a K1 champion with huge knockout power and an iron chin.

On top of that JDS might be out to make a point about his wrestling. He might even have the desire to go out there and outgrapple someone else just because he was so thoroughly dominated in his last outing. I would think that the first thing JDS did in training since after he healed up was work on his wrestling..

[edman5555]

Gunnar Nelson Versus Miky Pyle. I think Pyle wins though I did miss part of Gunnars fight against Jorge Santiago.

Who wins?

[zY|]

Sorry, Junior dos Santos will assassinate Mark Hunt.

[poopoo333]

James Te Huna replaces Ryan Bader, faces Glover Teixeira at UFC 160

[SPX]

Is no match-up safe?
