How Wiould Mark Hunt Do in the UFC?

I have a feeling that Mark Hunt would be received well by fans of the UFC. Why don't you think he is in there yet? I remember Mark Hunt as the only guy to ever give Fedor trouble. He has a fighting style that is entertaining to watch and he can take hits forever. How do you think he will do in the UFC?

I would love to see him in the UFC.

For a K-1 fighter he has really good ground skills, mainly because he uses his weight really well.

I think he'd be top 5 in the UFC HW division for sure, and yes I think he'd be quite popular so I have really no idea why he's never been signed up.

The more important question is could he lose the weight he would need to and if so, what effect would it have on his power.

Atleast explain yourself.

I think mark hunt would be awesome in the UFC. It'd be nice to see him bang it out with someone like Kongo or Vera.

it is a very repeated topic, but to get a response up there for TS...

yes, he is exciting and could make many great matchups for heavyweights in the UFC, his striking is great and he is an exciting fighter...Big problem is his inability/unwillingness to make the cut to 265...

as a side comment, i dont think he was the only guy to give Fedor trouble at all, but i do think he gets less credit than he deserves when people bash Fedor's resume...his fight with fedor was competitive and he had some good shots at him...but still, no, he was not the only one to give fedor trouble

Yes, he used to fight at around that weight, maybe even a bit lower.
