Prediction: correct Hunt   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

I think Big Country's ground game may make short work of Hunt. But, it would be amazing to see these two SLUG it out

Roys ground game is almost a myth at this point and his takedowns aren't too good.

HEY.

Don't disrespect the grappling of the Roy. Roy Nelson's jiujitsu is top 5 in the heavyweight division, there's no doubt about that. He's said before that knocking people out is a lot less work than jiu-jitsu, which is why he almost exclusively strikes now.

But don't get me wrong, Nelson's jiujitsu is still at a ridiculously elite level. There's no way he's going to submit Hunt though, he's gonna try to knock Hunt's head off.

I thought the idea was to make Overeem vs Hunt II to headline the Germany card..oh well

Hate that Hunt or Big Country has to lose here.

Prediction: correct Hunt   wrong Decision  

Overeem vs Hunt 2 would be amazing to watch, but I doubt it would headline a Germany card. Would be more suitable for a Japan card seeming both fighters were in PRIDE FC.

Gegard is a Dutchman from Armenia headlining a German card, why not a black dutch guy who's more well known than Gegard. I bet Overeem would be a better headliner than Gegard in Germany, imo. Depends on the match-up though, Munoz vs Gegard is just weak for a main event.

Prediction: correct Hunt   wrong Decision  

Overeem would obviously be a better headliner regardless of the location but what I'm saying is a match up of that great caliber (Overeem/Hunt) would be better off somewhere else. Also I thought Mousasi was Iranian. Don't really know the history behind him.

This might be one time where Roy will have to sub someone in the UFC.

I think Roy could sub him but I'm not sure he can get Mark down, his TDD has gotten so much better

Prediction: wrong Nelson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

If anyone can knock out Nelson it would be Hunt. However I am thinking Nelson can either land the big shot or perhaps even utilize his ground game. He hasn't done it in a while for a fight but Hunt has struggled on the ground a little bit in the past.

pretty good fight i can see nelson knocking mark hunt out but at the same time i can see nelson being knocked out by hunt . could be a exciting fight but i can see it being abit luckluster and maybe going to the judges . if its 5 rounds there could be a knockout . hope its on the cain card but seems abit long for this fight to happen

Prediction: correct Hunt   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

Well I ran the numbers, and between both Mark Hunto and Roy Nelson, they both accumulated $624,000.00 in post fight bonuses. Not that bad of a draw for both of these fighters. I assume there will be more added after this fight.

I think the numbers I got are correct if not let me know.
