Mauro Ranallo's Mic - UFC 160 is next to worthless if they take JDS off.
Agree
JDS vs Reem was the real headliner of 160. Cause everyone already saw the main event 
malryan -It's pretty obvious he wants to protect JDS. He doesn't want hunt anywhere near the title picture, if Kongo could rock Cain imagine what hunt could potentially do to him. It doesn't make sense anyway, why can't they make hunt vs JDS and then whoever wins gets overeem when he's healthy again?
This. They knows it's a dangerous matchup for Dos Santos and they don't want Hunt in the title picture.
Now I'm not saying Hunt would win but it's a dangerous fight and they don't even want to risk it
Il Duce - ^^^JDS Overeem is a much bigger fight and headline worthy. Hunt is awesome, but it's far easier to sell the former champ to a good looking guy with big muscles than a 5'11" 265lb. Samoan guy. Both are strikers with awesome highlights. Recent former champs. JDS and Overeem is a legit grudge match too.
Overeem hasn't looked that good in the UFC. He didn't fight for almost a year before getting knocked out by Silva. The casual fans have barely seen him at all and what they have seen doesn't make him look like a world beater. With JDS losing to Cain and Overeem looking quite bad in his loss to Silva, a lot of the air went out of that fight IMO. Hunt just knocked out a guy that had a lot of momentum on national tv. If the casuals didn't know him before they must know him now.
Id rather have JDS/Overeem.
Give hunt someone with good wrestling+jitz, that needs to be tested
They want to cash in on JDS-Reem before either loses again. Throw Hunto in and he drops JDS, there goes the stock in one of their top tier heavyweights, not to mention the loss of appeal in JDS-Reem.
malryan -Also, it could be that JDS wants no part of hunt and has said as much to Dana.
lol
Well JDS saw what happened to overeem and he also wouldve seen what happened to struves jaw the other day. I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks overeem is the easier fight now that hes not roided out and he has a glass chin again.
Why Dana why? =( we want so see Hunto with another big KO
This time the elements point to Dana / Joe Silva or JDS as the problem.
Mark Hunt asked for the fight, and knowing Dana wanting fireworks, I have to figure JDS wants to make sure he fights Overeem or something like that.
That's the optimistic interpretation of it at least.
gamer -onandon -They NEED to make this happen - why don't the UFC want to push Hunt as a star? He's probably one of the most universally loved fighters right now and he's definitely overcome the rough patch he had in the middle of his mma career (even then, he only lost to the best of that era) and proven himself as a top competitor. I don't get it!
Because Dana is petty and vindictive and for what ever insane reason has always hated on pride and on all fighters who use to formerly fight for pride.
Dana is that crazy and childesh.
Its the same reason why zuffa doesn't promote Shogun who is a stud in and out the ring
And its the same reason why Dana and his legion of zuffa zombies irrationally hate on Shogun even though Shogun has given them the greatest fights in UFC history.
Its the same reason why zuffa shills are paid to thrash all pride fighters on forums
Zuffa is anti pride, and its making me less and less a fan of the UFC as each day passes
Just go read posts from the UG's resident zuffa shills drunkard and well rounded poster.
These two morons are completely isnane and hate on nothing but former prife fighters 24/7
Drunkard and well rounded poster really do need to get banned. They are such aweful, and i lean aweful posters who bring nothing but negativity to the forums
Fuck u really love shogun....

Just focus on this part then you retard
"Why dont the UFC want to push Hunt as a star?"
"Because Dana is petty and vindictive and for what ever insane reason has always hated on pride and on all fighters who use to formerly fight for pride. Dana is that crazy and childesh"
I swear, the UG has gone to shit with posters like you. Fuck you're an idiot
Lol you turned a thread about Mark Hunt into a one about Shogun and he's the retard. LMAO
Thread turned shit
WTF, make this fight happen already, it'll be a great fucking fight!!
ThePeoplesYhundi - Thread turned shit
It did let's explore how:
Let's pretend the thread was about dogs
Poster A: I love dogs they're great
Poster B: Yup especially big dogs gotta love big dogs
Poster C: Don't foget small dogs, they're good too.
Poster gamer: This thread reminds of Shogun who has this dog who could bark his name, he would go SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN!
The people would see him walk his dog and say "Look it's Shogun and the dog that barks Shogun!" and the people went over to the dog and it got excited and wouldn't stop barking:
SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN
SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN
SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN SHOGUN
I MEAN DONT YOU JUST WANT HAVE SEX WITH SHOGUN?!!?!!!
How about everyone just ignore 'gamer' from now on and none of this shit will happen. Just hit Page Down whenever you see he's posted.
Anyway, one of my favourite parts of Pride was that if they had a 'big' fight scheduled and one of the guys got injured, they wouldn't bench the other guy. They'd have him fight anyway and not 'protect' him from losing them a potential money match down the road.
Gotta get what they can out of Overeem before his stock drops; not too much invested in Hunt.
jonnierockets20 - Gotta get what they can out of Overeem before his stock drops; not too much invested in Hunt.
This actrually makes sense. His stock is hittin da floor
Would love to see Hunt vs JDS...
It would be a great battle and as always Hunt will be underestimated!
I love Mark Hunt his fights in K1 were breathtaking
hunt vs ray sefo !!
Make it happen Dana! ppl wanne see it :)
gamer -ThePeoplesYhundi - Thread turned shit
Sadly I have to agree
You can thank ChaosOverkillI and _LOST_A_SN_BET_TO_LEGHOUND for that
The quality of UG posters has dropped to shit
Best we can do is ignore them, and get this thread going
Right now would be the perfect time to do Hunt vs Santos
Its a shame what Dana said
You really do have to start wondering why they would pass up on this exciting fight
So what you're saying is you love Shogun?
