Re: Overeem injured, out of 160.

If Hunt can touch him, yes. JDS touts his BJJ game, so this may be the fight, if it happens, to show it off.

 

Re: Overeem injured, out of 160.

DFW has shot down the idea of Hunt/JDS. Granted JDS would probably be the favorite, I think Dana may be protecting JDS a little. Cain already did a lot of damage to his image, if Hunt were to beat him, Dana would lose a big money draw.

JDS/Overeem will probably be pushed back a month or two. Lame sauce.

 

Re: Overeem injured, out of 160.

Fan pressure has prevailed, JDS vs Mark Hunt is official for 160. This gon be good!

 

Really don't see this fight being much different than Nelson/JDS. Struve was doing really well on the feet with Hunt until he gassed and decided to throw bungalows. Still, great to see Hunt earn a marquee fight. When he first came to the UFC on a losing streak people thought he was unworthy. He's shown everyone that he still belongs.

 

The difference is though that Hunt has probably the most KO power in the HW division and Cain showed that JDS can be chin-checked. If Hunt can land, JDS can go out.
