Yep, Hunt even tried some kind of flying kick before Nishijima did the fall on ass kick.
Too bad that Nishijima sucked at everything but boxing, because I really dug his hands in the Hunt fight. I don't know, maybe if he started early he would've been a solid fighter.

Tough one to call with Hunt's layoff and if Overeem will have a gas tank at heavyweight. Either way, looking forward to it.

Mirko is my favourite fighter but Overeem is definitely worthy enough to fight Cro Cop.

Is Mirko worthy enough to fight Overeem?

I hope they get the betting lines wrong on this one, because I think Hunt is a lock.

Not exactly, Overeem's solid at HW, has really good stand-up. Dude has nasty knee's. He could also sub Hunt.
Hunt's been inactive in MMA for over a year now. Ring rust could play a factor.

Off topic, but Hunt vs Nishijima is the best Pride fight nobody talks about.

Ya I love that Hunt fight and I'm excited about him vs Overeem as well. I know Hunt has been training hard since he's been training w/ Brad Morris and that guy's a conditioning freak. I think Hunt will knock him out or get guillotined. No way Overeem beats Hunt standing

I think Overeem pulls the upset.
Alistair isn't a joke standing or on the ground and I think if Hunt is beating him up then Overeem will get it down and use his submission game which is pretty good.
I wouldn't be shocked if Alistair won a decision if he fight stayed standing the whole time as well.
When Overeem is fighting well he is really good.
