So Alistair Overeem is out injured and Hunt wants the fight with JDS. I actually prefer that fight. Who you guys got if that fight happens? I got JDS I think. :-)

I think JDS' boxing will be more clinical. But Mark Hunt hits seriously hard and has an iron chin; it'll definitely be entertaining!
Looks like the UFC are going to delay the fight until after the summer.
I think JDS would stand less and do a lot more of cagework and ground game than we usually see from him. As awesome as that would be to see him stand and trade with Hunt, Hunt can only really give and take punches and JDS would attack his weaknesses. I love Hunt and I almost always bet on him but I would bet against him in a fight against JDS...
Yeah White put the kobosh on that one. Theyre just rescheduling Overeem/JDS for the Summer.
That being said, if a Hunt/JDS match were to happen I wouldnt count Hunt out but I sure wouldnt put any money on him.
JDS would be too fast for Hunt to really land anything. Carwin is a one punch KO guy and he couldn't touch JDS. I'd rather see Hunt vs someone else who is matched closer to him. Hunt is a people's champ. People want to see him at his best, not at his worst. I doubt he'll ever get into title contention, but he'll put on some great shows along the way.
I'd like Hunt vs Carwin now that I mention him.
50 bucks if hunt drops the samoan bomb
I bet on Hunt, win or lose situation. He has a way or dragging guys into his kind of fight. Though slower, the pure umph behind his punches could knock anyone out. Liked him in Pride, if anyone can take Cro Cops and Wandy's best hits in their prime than I am down to watch the big man slug it out. :)
Hunt is on a 4 fight win streak now, so stoked for him. Super Samoan is exciting as hell. Hope to see him fight JDS, but if not give him another striker. Pat Barry would be another good one.
I read this morning that Hunt turned down the fight.
being a kiwi aswell i have to go for hunt. but he wont take the fight because he did get quite banged up when he smashed struve. but honestly i dont know if JDS could take hunts power and timing. it would be an awesome fght though. and by the way mark hunts more well rounded than people gve him credit for. he might not be the best on the ground or the aganst the cage but think people overlook him there because his knockout power is so amazing.
It's going down. UFC 160 :-)

A day after UFC president Dana White said Hunt turned down a fight against Junior dos Santos at UFC 160, "The Super Samoan" got the fight he wanted following a phone conversation with White Thursday night.
Moral of the story, no one tells Mark Hunt who he can't fight. Mark Hunt 2013!
