Werdum vs. Hunt

This is the official discussion thread for Werdum vs. Hunt. Let's see what you've got.

Key of the fight, CARDIO!! 

or Hunt KO to werdum in round 1, or Werdum will be winner. 
- Werdum better Cardio.
- Ground game. Hunt in te ground is weak. And Werdum is stroger in the ground.

Round 1 and maybe 2 my fav is Hunt
Round 3,4,5 Werdum will be winner, unless lucky punch!

I don't know to go with a finish for Werdum or a Dec.  Although I don't want either.

I doubt this goes the distance either way.

The only reason I think it will is because of the Browne fight

I took over 1.5 rounds so hoping it at least goes 7:30.

But big time rooting for Hunt

There is no doubt that Fabricio Werdum has become one of the most well-rounded HWs in all of MMA. He has improved vastly on ALL aspects of MMA. Not to mention, that he IS, quite possibly, the greatest HW submission fighter in all of MMA. That is why coming into this fight he is the heavy favorite. The one thing that the oddsmakers have not taken into consideration is that Werdum has had a questionable chin in the past, is coming into this fight 33 pounds lighter than his opponent, and his track record against great strikers has been really questionable. Now mind you, I'm talking about great strikers with decent ground or underrated ground games, not just good strikers who have good or well-improved ground games. Mark Hunt has vastly improved his overall ground game. You look at Werdum's losses to fighters like Andrei Arlovski, Alistair Overeem, and Sergei Kharitonov. None of them possess the KO power that even begins to compare to Mark Hunt. Whether a man is 20, 30, 40, or 50, at any age a man with that kind of KO power is dangerous to fight. Then you swing the argument the other way, 6 of Mark Hunt's 8 losses have come by way of first round submission, and many of those to fighters who's submission skills come nowhere close to that of Fabricio Werdum. Either way you look at it, you've got a formula for a fight that is going to possess a great finish.

and none of those 3 KOed Werdum either. He lost all 3 by decision, his striking has obviously improved since even the most recent of those losses (Reem), and he's beaten KO artists Nelson & Browne with his striking since then. His only career stoppage loss was to a debuting JDS in a fight that Werdum was way out of shape for. I don't get where you get a "questionable chin" out of that.
