Mark Hunt: If Alistair Overeem Tests Positive for PEDs, ‘I’ll Sue His Black Ass’






Didn't realize Hunt was a racist piece of shyt in addition to being a whiner .

He also called Brock a "white POS".

I don't think he's a racist, he's just a fighter that doesn't know any better.

question here from a boxing fan

Whenever I watch an MMA fight I usually see a fighter tries/does this shyt

now the question is how is a kick as long and circumstantial can be pulled off by all these dudes without being countered very hard. I mean it's a long an not particularly fast move where you at a point will turn your back to your opponent plus you're standing on one leg the whole time so you're imbalanced. A duck under the leg then left hook combo or a simple strong leg kick could neutralize the move presented in the gif. Why they don't pull the trigger then?

To a lesser extent the same question occurs when I see flying knees and spectacular head kicks. They are all should be pretty easy to counter if someone doesn't get scared of the moves themselves.

So am I right or I'm missing something and if I'm right why I see only rarely if anytime... that a fighter counters a spinning kick?

 

[The G.O.D II]

What part? The bit where I state 90% of ufc fans wouldn't be able to recall all the names of the fighters he's beat in his 9 fight win streak?

The part about WME operating on a totally different playbook to zuffa?

Or the part about a fighter signing a contract then not wanting to honour it because he feels he's worth more not due to popularity, live gate or ppv buys but because he's a bad ass on a 9 fight win streak.

See I can actual frame my argument like an adult without ad hominems, your tit for tat routine is past tedious, kid

What difference does it make if anyone can't recall all the names? He's on a nine fight win streak and that includes names like Barboza and the ex champ RDA. That's all the matters

And why should he take a fight against a different opponent on 24 hours for less money and no title show? He renegotiated for this fight. The honorable thing they could have done was at least pay the man if they really wanted to keep him on and save the show. I mean he would be taking a fight against someone he already lost too(granted he broke his arm) But this is almost like right and a casual like yourself can't comprehend

think about that question for a second and it's implications

And why should he take a fight against a different opponent on 24 hours for less money and no title show? He renegotiated for this fight.

I think I already covered this when I mentioned the time and sacrifices of training camp and how they can be cool with going home empty handed. I mean dude says he has a family to feed is something not better than nothing?

The honorable thing they could have done was at least pay the man if they really wanted to keep him on and save the show

they were going to pay the man honouring the new contract he signed around vannata/RDA lol..

I mean he would be taking a fight against someone he already lost too(granted he broke his arm) But this is almost like right and a casual like yourself can't comprehend

what did he say all through his back and forth with habeeb "I am a totally different fighter than the one that fought Johnson, I will destroy Johnson now" was that something he truly believes or just bravado, like Royce Gracie always says there is only one way to find out.

Conor ain't due till at least October? Who knows what state habeeb is in, if he's this killer he says he is put Johnson away and expunge that ghost for good it sells itself.

Look at jacare and maia they've read the tealeaves this is the fight biz he had better fix up and enter reality, he is in no position to pop his collar making these demands.

Do you understand what 9 fight win streak is? Do you know how hard that is to obtain at 155? Why risk that for less pay? He's not going home with nothing they will still pay him his show money that he signed for the original fight. And that's worth more then risking his title shot against a guy on a days notice, less pay, and no title shot. What is this you aren't understanding? And you don't know when Connor is coming back. My guess is soon because the Flyod fight isn't happening. And the UFC will flex on him like before. Plus he will be more willing since Khabib is officially out the picture

what part of WME altering the way we once knew things don't you understand? Is Ferguson a draw? Has he headlined a fox show? Done monster numbers? Done a ridiculous live gate or gates? If the answer to all these questions is no then his streak does not mean squat to this new regime's bottomline

He's not going home with nothing they will still pay him his show money that he signed for the original fight.

they aren't going to pay him interim championship fight money just for showing up. He said he wasn't getting show money to Megan but who knows like I said I don't get how these dudes would go home empty handed than get something for all the sweat and tears so they must be getting something..

And that's worth more then risking his title shot against a guy on a days notice, less pay, and no title shot

conor has stalled the division anyway Johnson could very well be damaged from habeeb, Ferguson claims to be the best right? might as well stay busy by avenging a loss.

Plus he will be more willing since Khabib is officially out the picture

he's not dead

 

[morris]

He called Overeem a monkey, and talked about Cheick Kongo's "black monkey face" before they fought.

If he had said he'd sue Brock Lesnar's white ass then it'd be cool. Doing it to his darker shade brother is cowardly

That's pretty much how Chris Weidman lost his belt to Rockhold. It was a close competitive fight, and then Weidman tried to pull out a Wheel Kick and paid for it.

Most of the time when guys pull out those types of moves they spend time setting them up, and it's a technique that catches their opponent off guard. Traditionally most guys only train Muay Thai and boxing, so a lot of them aren't prepared when people pull off Karate or Tae Kwon Do techniques. With that said if you don't set it up, don't have good technique, or you aren't athletic you end up like Weidman.

What are you mentioning WME like that means shyt? He's next in line. It's not like he's bypassing some major draw. Connor is the star. He's the draw. Doesn't matter who the put against him. Now that Khabib is done(and he is he's not getting a shot after all it only makes sense to insert Tony. If Connor isn't back by summer then he could take a fight but it's silly to risk it on short notice with less pay then originally agreed upon. And he is getting his show money.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

So I'm hearing if Khabib would have informed the UFC what was going on first before just going to the hospital the fight could have been salvaged

It's "unorthodox" that's why fighters fall victim to these attacks. You also have to throw these type of techniques with conviction if you throw it lazily or when you're tired ala Weidman... it can very well get countered.

 

[Roman Brady]

I am sure as they screw Romero and turn this sport into a charade (to die hards), all parties feel the same

He's next in line.

says who, dana? Seem to recall maia being in line when he beat Condit, Edgar was once in line to face conor, plans were subject to change then and things have become even more skewed now more than ever

If Connor isn't back by summer then he could take a fight but it's silly to risk it on short notice with less pay then originally agreed upon. And he is getting his show money.

say gsp/bisbing happens june/July and the former loses and reveals the other opponent written in his contract to face is conor at 155 then what? That's practically the whole year gone just because Ferguson wanted to hedge his bets? He's got a lot of time to fight, lose then get back on the horse in contention worse case scenario, it's not like the LW division is poppin like that.

Dana stay lying and throwing fighters under the bus, so who knows . He likes to paint them in a bad light when he doesn't get his way.

 

[jackswstd]

Hunt is my man 50 grand but "sue his black ass" also I don't recall him saying that about Kongo but he's establishing a bad pattern here.

Do you just love arguing for the fukk of it? Why are you mentioning Romero? He's coming off a suspension and he still would be fighting for the title if not for GSP. Do you see any scenario at 155 like that? No. That's why an interim was stupidity created in the first place. We know why Maia never fought and comparing him to Tony is stupid since tony puts on exciting fights and finishes. They aren't giving GSP any immediate title shot if he loses come on use common sense. LOL@LW division isn't popping like that. Stop posting and embarrassing yourself
