Damn, that was hard to watch

Tell me about it, actually depressing to watch. He sounded like he just wanted to break down right then and there.

 

[Nickos66]

New matches made:

Gus vs Rumble Johnson
Hendo vs Mousassi (185lbs)
Mir vs Bigfoot
Meisha Tate vs Sara McMann

Mark Hunt is in a very bad, bad way at the moment..

http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/11/12/7207451/a-sit-down-in-mexico-city-with-mark-hunt

Something is obviously going down at home and fighting's the last thing on his mind, get to the end of the interview and it's just raw emotion - he doesn't give a single **** about the fight. That was hard to watch, particularly the ending..

A couple of quotes that stood out: 'Troubled waters for Mark Hunt the father.' 'I couldn't care what happens Saturday night.'

He came across extremely disconnected to the concept of fighting. He spoke about his 6 fight losing streak being due to his head space but I wouldn't think it was as bad as it came across in the interview.

Won't end well if he can't focus at least a little. Sad.

Dana would be concerned at that interview. Not Hunts state but his negativity towards the fight.

He really makes no sense when talking. Clearly his mind is somewhere else...
Around the 10 minute mark, I think Ariel hits a nerve. You get the idea that there is a lot people doubting Hunt. He seems like he is going into this alone.

Gus vs Rumble Johnson

Jesus Christ man... UFC taking a huge risk with that one.

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Haven't had a chance to check out the Hunt vid above, but came across this one this morning. Brilliant stuff:

 

[Nickos66]

Jacare vs Yoel Romero named on the 2 title fight card earlier next year.

Holly Holm delays debut... Out injured again.

 

[benchwarmer5]

Anthony Demetriou referring for Bisping fight teehee

 

[MMAPride Scott]

rumble back in business now

 

[Ross]

Not sure how I missed this live but it explains everything.

 

[bkozican]

Don't know how but Hunt made weight....Fabricio was 30 pounds lighter.

 

[bkozican]

Good ol Melvin Guillard misses weight for a title fight....

Turns out he's an A list fighter fighting in the B league who gives a C grade effort to make weight.

He has huge potential but just lacks it mentally

 

[bkozican]

Off to my mates to watch it today, Hunt is always a "punchers chance".


SHOULD BE GOOD VIEWING

 

[Damon_3388]

Lol, this Spanish translator they're using for the corners is terrible. Sounds like a robot.

 

[Quivorir]

That ear.

 

[bkozican]

Glad the doc stopped that...it was hard to watch

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Rodriguez looks a super prospect.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Great finish for Lamas, disappointing performance from Bermudez.

 

[Damon_3388]

Inb4 the Hunt fight doesn't even rate a mention on the sports bulletin on the nightly news here.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

That was random, looked like Ellenberger was complaining about shots the back of the head right when Gastelum was looking to lock in the rear naked.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Ellenberger is up there with Alves for unfulfilled potential.

 

[WA ROO]

So Woodley or Lombard next for Gastelum?

 

[FedEXFalls]

Damn it Hunt.
