Like he was implying that Mark hunt is a top 10 highest paid ufc fighter, which means money he gets in the ufc, when you hear Lebron james being one of the top paid nba athletes, that means his contract in the nba is one of the highest, that’s not including his money from out of the nba. If he meant to include Mark hunts earning from out of the ufc then he would’ve said he was a top 10 earning fighter and would not have specifically mentioned UFC

[@dwigg7700]

Yup, true warrior. Always put on a show.

[@HusainG]

The man was a legend. Especially considering how old he was when he started his MMA career. If you include his K-1 career his record suddenly becomes much more impressive. Keep in mind that he started his MMA career at age 30 and went straight into the best heavy weight division at the time and quite possibly ever. Fedor, Big Nog, Crocop, and Josh Barnett to name a few. Mpst fighters start their career with about 10 fights at a lower level to prove themselves and get used to MMA. He didn't get that at all. Plus, gotta give props to the only man I've seen outfighting Fedor in his prime. He lost because Fedor always finds a way but had that fight ended at 8 minutes and went to the judges Mark would've walked out with the belt. Not one in that legendary division can say I stepped into the ring with Fedor and outfought him for 8 Minutes.

I just learned about him as I don't keep up with MMA anymore, but one thing I love (among everything else already stated in this video) is that he didn't have an ego. He didn't brag, he didn't talk trash, didn't play the "game" in any of those ways to increase his popularity (wether they believe in the hype themselves or not) the same way so many other fighters do. A man shows with his actions, not his mouth, and that's lost on SOOO many fighters in UFC already. Nothing but respect for a real man.

I can definitely see him as a UFC Champion, but for as long as Fedor was the Pride Heavyweight Champion I just don't think Mark could beat him. Now its questionable whether or not Fedor was on steroids since he never tested positive and he peaked and declined pretty early in his career. Its entirely plausible he was on PED's as it was encouraged in Pride, but even without them I just think Fedor was that good. Not to take anything away from Mark Hunt of course, he's underrated as hell and his record on the face of it doesn't tell the full story.

[@dolphinwithahandgun7094]

He fought in the golden era of absolute legends not to mention the golden era of steroids. Sure he maybe should've worked on his ground game but Hunt was one of those guys who just wanted to scrap. EDIT: and throwing down in the heavy weight division is some risky business.

[@patton1909]

He doesn’t get the respect he deserves

[@moussoschreiber2078]

He had like 5 to 6 dumb armbar losses. Focusing on his skills on the floor earlier he would have had a way better record.

[@jasond6267]

I'm honestly a Mark Hunt fan. He's fought in so many eras and gotten wins against top contenders. People had to take him down or submit him to win usually

[@lilgoat150]

Facts look at Curtis Blyade fight

[@thomaskole8626]

Mark was always a huge draw because he came to get the win without backing down, always loved to watch him fight.

[@imequationzyt]

He had a great chin and knockout power. I wouldn’t consider him the best of heavyweights but he is a legend.

[@TophatlarryOG]

I can totally understand why you wouldn't he didn't beat all the best guys and even lost to guys he shouldn't have lost to. He took some nasty losses especially during the tail end of his career. But he awesome as fuck so fuck it I'd say he be a contender.

[@OTT23Detroit]

May not be the best heavy weight but everyone know what hes capable of and its scary

[@randolphneueli6479]

What a fighter! His passion, his might, very hard to beat! So proud! Thanks Mark

[@pavel1kometa]

What is most fascinating about Mark Hunt is the fact that he shocked the world twice. At first when he won K1 Grand Prix in 2001, where he wasn't even supposed to be. He lost to Sefo in classic war but got a wild card because Sefo got injured during the fight. Then he stepped in the tournament picking as his first opponent one of the favorites of the tournament Le Banner just to shock the world and knocked him out cold in the second. Later on, he had another 2 absolute classic wars with Le Banner. As an underdog, he won K1 Grand Prix and stepped in MMA which was nothing but a hard transition. Then he started with UFC because he refused to take the money to end his fighting contract just to become Top contender and 11 years after his probably the most brutal war in 2002 with Le Banner in Semi-Final K1 Grand Prix he delivered one of the most iconic heavyweights wars with Bigfoot. He was the oldest active fighter in UFC at the time and still pushing hard. An absolute legend who spent 20 years squaring off with the best competition out there. Maybe not the best-padded record, but an absolute legend to the sport. Definitely one of my all-time favorites. Mark Hunt was a dog with dynamite in his hands. True Cinderella man! PS: The Struve knockout is one of the most iconic in UFC!

[@punkhippe]

One of my absolute favorite of all time. Dude was a warrior in his blood. Always seemed like a chill dude who did what he loved. He didnt have the best record but he was absolutely a threat every single fight he was in. The samoan warrior.

Awesome mate! Mark Hunt definitely won my heart and I firmly believe on his good day, he has the potential to beat ANYONE. Thanks again

[@KyleKnoblauch]

Mark Hunt is absolutely one of the toughest men in the world.... in the prime of his career in K-1 and in the early part of his career with Pride, he was the best heavyweight in the world, in the UFC, he was in his twilight fighting a bunch of cheaters on steroids and still managed at least 3 significant wins. Mark has and always will be one of my favorite kick boxers ever. On the subject of kick boxing, would love to see a video on Changpuek Kiatsongrit.

[@superpulaski9767]

He’s one of the greats and is currently working to improve pay and benefits for future fighters. Great in and out of the ring. Fought 90% complete juice heads as well (juice heads I love still without a doubt) but Hunt truly pushed his natural abilities in a time when everyone was on enough gear to kill them.

That’s why he had so manny loses he trained to train when had to fight he sido it to do it he wasn’t dictated if he actually want it to would’ve won atleast 40% of his losses

[@billiebleach7889]

How good was he actually? I don’t know. But I do know I feel zero intend to find out personally.

[@Coconautify]

It is disgusting how Dana, knowing most of his fighters were juice-babies, just exploited the crap out of them.... he is one cold-blooded dude. Mark was right in calling it out. The worst was Brock Lesnar, I mean these guys wouldnt have a chance against Mark if they were off the gear. F'ken disgraceful. No wonder most fighters end up walking away from the UFC, its just too much. As for Mark, well he fought literally EVERYONE. He was a K1 champion before even setting foot in MMA. He fought CroCop twice, Fedor, Le Banner, Yoost, Frank Mir, Overeem, Verdun, actually all the Brazilians... I mean, he just fought everyone there was to fight, often at short notice, and always took the fight to them, win or lose. A true champion in my book.

[@deathstarresident]

Mark hunt is a prime example that fighting the toughest fights fairly makes you much more respected than any undefeated or barely defeated fighter. When Mark walks into an arena as a spectator, people turn their gaze on to him and away from the cage. Fighters like Jorge Masvidal, DC are on record talking about how Mark Hunt inspires them to this day.
