Nice to write stuff in a tad more detail again.

WAR HUNT.

interesting read, i think mir should get it tho

[Zanmato]

frank mir is more likely to get it
mark hunt is more likely to win it

i'd say hunt is maybe not ready for a title shot on the basis of his wins, but when i scroll up and down the list of heavyweights, he's about the best of the rest... i think he'd be pretty hopeless against a power double from someone like Velasquez, but other than that? hunt beating struve, then fighting someone like carwin to get a title shot would be nice... with either Barnett or Cormier getting the next crack at JDS inbetween

[hysteresis]

Fuck it. Hunt wouldn't 'deserve' a title shot but it'd be cracking fight.

I say give it to him, purely for the awkward post fight interview.




OHMIGOD MARK YOU DID IT YOURE THE NEW UFC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!!!! THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST INCREDIBLE MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE!!!!! HOW DOES IT FEEL!!!!??




yeah.......salright.

On another board we have a MMA team chill and Hunt is the captain of the team, he doesn't give a fuck about anything.

If you look back at the HW division there have been a hell of a lot of unwarranted title shots, HW is just entertainment, if they gave it to hunt and hewon it would be one of the best Cinderella story's in combat sport history.

Also I think if JDS stayed standing he would get knocked out very fast.

I don't think Hunt deserves it, but if he gets it I wish him the best and I know he would give hell of a fight, what a guy.

Yeah Mir for me too.
