http://www.cagepotato.com/aaaaaarrrrrghhhh-mark-hunt-arrested-in-new-zealand-visa-denied-for-ufc-160-bout-with-junior-dos-santos/

I posted earlier in the JDS/Hunt thread that he was having troubles, I thought this article confirmed it but still seems like it isn't 100% either way. Hopefully he can get back in the US for this fight would suck to see it cancelled.

Roy Nelson being considered as a replacement if Hunt can't get his visa situation resolved.

Hope Hunt's visa works out I don't really want to see Roy be a punching bag for 3 rounds again

Not interested in JDS/Roy one bit, would be a one sided beatdown

That's the result of slim divisions.

The UFC should consider only signing flyweights, bantamweights and heavyweights instead of signing unnecessary fighters for the other divisions which are already filled out.

It would suck if JDS vs. Nelson II happened on the same card as Cain vs. Bigfoot II. Both fights shouldn't be happening as they were one sided beatdowns when they happened and now they would probably end up being the same.

No one wants to see JDS fight Nelson again. Throw someone in there who hasn't fought JDS. At least give us some uncertainty.

That's the problem. HW division is thin. I know Overeem and JDS were supposed to fight, but Overeem got hurt. No idea what his status is now. The options would be much more broad if we weren't only 2 weeks out. Cormier possibly? I don't think he would, but he's had more time off than Nelson.

Out of all the HW rematches to make, the 2 that ended the most definitively may be on this card. Sigh.

Of course we all want Hunt/JDS .. But if Hunt can't make it, I will be happy with Nelson/JDS II. Nelson has really improved since the first fight, I think it could be great.

Nelson hasnt improved at all, still just wings the overhand right. He just looked better because he wasn't fighting the top of the division anymore.

His stand up has improved more than anything else, no one said it got any prettier.  But it has improved.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 3m

I'm on the NSAC conference call right now. Hunt is up first. They just asked him if he has his visa yet. He said:

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 2m

"I'm still waiting. I think I should be getting one on Monday. Hopefully Monday." - Mark Hunt. They are now asking him about his '02 arrest.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 3m

I asked Hunt earlier today if he's concerned about jet lag. He said, "Even if I was what can be done about this?" UFC 160 is in 8 days.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 2m

Hunt tells the commission the case was dismissed in '02 and he hasn't had any incidents since then. Hunt has been granted a license.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 1m

After the NSAC tells him he got the license, Hunt belts out a loud, "WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOD BLESS YOU." One of a kind.
