Lots of unknowns and wouldbe's on this card.

Mizugaki+Nick ring is my parlay for this event but it got very low value.

And I think Hunt will take this but every single match in the main card is a tossup and its a gamblers nightmare

 

[b00m]

I think the Maori and Islander blokes are going to run away with this UFC
If Ta Huna can connect on Shogun it'll be over and same for Hunt an Silva
Looking forward to watching these fights

 

[Calimed]

Go Hunt!!

 

[Spider Crab]

How could Hunt miss the extra large mandible of Bigfoot?

 

[RetroGrow]

Go Shogun!
Hunt got destroyed his last time out. He is 39, & gasses after one round. If he doesn't knock out Bigfoot in the first round, he is in trouble.
Gotta pick Silva.
That's one down in my Brazilian parlay.
Shogun for the KO!

 

[Spider Crab]

He is gassed when he enters the octagon, but still has knockout ability after 3 rounds.

 

[RetroGrow]

Silva will dance around for awhile maybe, and just tire him out. But, really, I think Silva will attack and knock him out. Huge height and reach advantage. Don't see Hunt winning unless it's early.

Bigfoot needs to jab. I didn't see him throw any jabs in the first round. He can't let Hunt walk him down.

 

[m314]

Hunt's looking great in the later rounds. I didn't think he'd outwrestle Bigfoot like this.

 

[Spider Crab]

As usual none of us have a clue.

Great fight.

 

[RetroGrow]

That was unreal!
Should be a draw!!!!
Fight of the year!

 

[Mr. Bongjangles]

Yay a draw! Hugs all around boys!!! :friends:

 

[jayjayfrank]

how do they stand up and walk around after all that

 

[RidgeRebel]

Really glad i got to see that. thank you Mr. Bongjangles

 

[RetroGrow]

I don't know how they take the shots they do and keep fighting.
Bigfoot's one mistake, besides not jabbing, was not attacking Hunt's leg after he buckled it. He went right for the head and wasted a lot of energy. One more leg kick and Hunt would have gone down
Aside from that, it was one of the best, most brutal fights ever, with elbows, knees, punches, kicks. It's a good thing they called it a draw, because neither man deserved to lose.
Great fight!!!!!!!

 

[Spider Crab]

I can't get over how big Bigfoot's head is....

 

[Green lung]

What was that ref doing when he stoped the fight to look at silvia little cut way up on his hairline WTF I felt sivia was about to go down.


.

 

[Bmac1]

Horrible call by the ref to check the cut at that time. I thought Hunt was about to finish him when he did it.

 

[RetroGrow]

Good call by the ref. Man's face was covered in blood. Blood running into his eyes. Ref's job is to protect the fighters. Doctor did his job. Both fighters were exhausted, and Hunt needed a rest too. Nothing unfair about it.

 

[b00m]

Holy Shit What a Fight!!!
Deserves Fight of the Year!!
