Though the journey wasn't as straightforward as the result.

Hunt is a better technicalnstriker than JDS, Hunt has more power, and Hunt has a fantastic chin. JDS should consider taking Hunt down in this one.

I think JDS picks Hunt apart like he did Carwin, he'll mix up a takedown here and there after Hunt fades, don't let Cain fool ya', JDS isn't week kneed or lacking stamina.

Mark Hunt has really made me a fan of him recently. He's an awesome dude and a talented fighter. Can't wait to see him mix it up with Dos Santos!
