He should, but if he never makes Hunt worry about the takedown there is a big possibility that JDS ends up like struve.

I like Struve a lot. But he's no JDS still in just stand up. Struve's got some of the best ground skills for a heavyweight and has gotten a lot better standing but he got flattened by Hunt because his stand up defense is still pretty shoddy...exponentially when he's gassed which he completely was in that third round vs Hunt

Hunt is live. The guy can take a headkick ffrom k1 guys and still ktfo them.

With all that being said, I'm still taking Hunt to win, even though he's a big underdog. LOL you are too smart for this post Puertorican wtf. Carwin and Nelson are mediocre strikers that throw telegraphed haymakers with everything they got, Mark Hunt is in a totally different level, he is no Peter Aerts but he has enough technique to easily put JDS to sleep any second and it would be extremely stupid for JDS to take such a ridiculous chance.

There's no big difference in striking between Carwin, Nelson, and Hunt. They are brawlers with big power and great chins. Carwin and Nelson probably have more ko power actually. JDS isn't going to stand there and trade punches, but he'll box and use his speed, movement, and technique like he always does.

jds gonna just pop his jab, hes much too fast for hunt.

I really like both JDS & Hunt. Despite Hunts credentials I think the stand up is fairly close. So I hope JDS ego gets in the way and they throw down striking and we get a great fight. No idea who wins an all striking bout.

Otherwise JDS goes the grapple route it should be fairly one sided. Though as said Hunto recently got his purple belt, so he should put up more resistance on the ground than most think... I hope anyways.

he probably read an article from Jack Slack, that says that Hunt is just a brawler with a heavy overhand right and a granite chin, that won the k1 GP just because he was lucky since he lost to Sefo and advanced

not that I agree with sleepyhead post, hunt is for sure much better striker than Carwin and Nelson, but JDS speed and technique is just too much for Hunt
Hunt is not the GREAT STRIKER that people are thinking

KO of the Night Winner

Cain Velasquez wins KO of the Night +2500
Mark Hunt wins KO of the Night +1000
Junior Dos Santos wins KO of the Night +4000
James Te-Huna wins KO of the Night +1650
Glover Teixeira wins KO of the Night +800
KJ Noons wins KO of the Night +3200
Donald Cerrone wins KO of the Night +2500
Mike Pyle wins KO of the Night +2700
Abel Trujillo wins KO of the Night +3300


There are some other big lines for KO of the night, but not worth posting.

I put $5 on JDS to win KOTN, which returns $200.

A lot of people think that every mediocre K-1 guy is automatically a world class MMA striker regardless of how they fight or what they have shown in their MMA fights. It doesn't work that way though!

Hunt is great and I love to watch him fight but

1. He's not a better MMA striker than Carwin or Nelson

2. JDS is better than him everywhere

3. I'm going to be proven right tomorrow night because this fight is going to go just like JDS/Nelson and JDS/Carwin

I bet at 5dimes, however, an hour after I placed that +4000 on JDS, the bookie sent out emails saying they made a line error; it should have been +400 instead of +4000, so they canceled it.

I think 4000 is a more appropriate line than 400, IMHO.

^bookies should not be allowed to do that

These are my non-live bets so far:

Glad I hedged my Bowles bet... Bowles was gassed after round 1.
