Im going to be on hunt for sure. JDS will probably come in looking to grapple, but Hunt getting plus 300 in a fight that most likely will be played out on the feet...I like those odds.Comment

Never. However he doesn't usually fight talented strikers. Aside from Gilbert Yvel and Mirko cro cop. Those are the two best strikers he has fought. Mirko was doing somewhat okay with him, one judge on sherdog gave him round one. I don't know where Hunt stands compared to them but he seems to have been a lot more successful in the UFC.
For the sake of argument I will say that Hunt is the most dangerous striker Junior has fought. I think he is for the record. Junior has an incentive to take the fight to the ground. He has the advantage there. He is a black belt in brazilian jiu jitsu. Believe it or not Junior started in Jiu jitsu before boxing according to what I have read in interviews. Juniors wrestling is also decent based on what we have seen him be able to do defensively. On top of that his cardio is probably a lot better. I base that on the fact that he made it five rounds wrestling with Cain. I know he looked like shit at the end but he still did it.
JDS has never tried to do much else than strike so theres no reason to think he should but if you really break it down he has a great reason to do it.1 unit = 300 $Comment

Exactly what I was thinking. Of all things Dunham can probably work a positional grappling gameplan. I doubt he submits RDA because I get the impression RDA was pretty good in straight BJJ but Dunham has always looked good in the wrestling department and he has fought a decent amount of wrestlers.
Also a reminder. Something I forgot, Dunham beat Tibau after he gassed. I kept looking at the the Tibau-dunham and Tibau-Rda fights and thinking I was crazy for giving the edge to RDA because Tibau beat him and Dunham beat Tibau. Obviously its a different matchup but I still kept thinking about it. I believe Tibau wrestled RDA IIRC. Beating him by maintaining position. Tibau has strength Dunham doesn't though. Anyways, slight edge like you said. I wish the line was better. I will probably still bet it because I am like a crack addict.1 unit = 300 $Comment

Yeah I thought that as well. Overall I will give the grappling edge to JDS though. Hunt actually has some decent takedown defense of his own just because he is a stocky samoan but JDS is a black belt on the ground. I would think IF he can get him down he holds a significant edge there.1 unit = 300 $Comment

Francisco Trinaldo versus Mike Rio:
Trinaldo is a good kickboxer with some decent wrestling. He lost to Tibau via wrestling but it wasn't a total clinic. The only problem is Rio is a JUCO wrestling champ. No idea. Maybe Trinaldo if he is a significant dog. Rio got beat by Efrain Escudero. Not that he is horrible or anything but he isn't that great.1 unit = 300 $Comment

I just don't even think JDS's mind works that way. He's a kickboxer and that's where he's most comfortable. And when he fights other kickboxers he likes to engage in kickboxing matches.
If JDS gameplans to wrestle this time, well, we've seen strikers do that before when they feel they have a distinct grappling advantage over another striker, but it will literally be the first time that's ever been the case.I heart cockComment

I think he did shoot for takedowns on carwin. That is actually what i was thinking about but i couldnt remember if he landed them.1 unit = 300 $Comment
