Matt Mitrione just lost his opponent, so that’s the obvious choice.
Didn’t Mitrione pull out of the fight? I can’t remember
No mitrione was supposed to fight braughton but braughton pulled out. I say **** mitrione and Travis browne should fight Mark Hunt. that would be epic!
I like Browne but dont kid yourself, hes not ready for a Mark Hunt…
I think he is. K-1 champ or not I think mark hunt is overrated.
overrated? lmao.. hes 8-7 in MMA but if you look at all his losses except for when he got KO he dominated the fight and got caught in submissions.. Fedor also said Hunt was the first guy to almost sub him. Hunt beat on overeem and Fedor then got caught in subs. Now that hunt improved his takedown defense he is a monster even more… Mark Hunt is the best striker in the heavyweight division point blank. If he can learn wrestling and takedown defense plus some ground game he can be champ..Hes a way better striker than JDS
brown vs hunt or mitrione will be epic!!
Machida by decision. Shogun by 3rd round tko
If that does happen I’d hope they’d square off again for the rubber match. War SHOGUN!
I think Hapa vs. Hunt would be amazing. Well said
