Mark Hunt is scheduled to fight Junior Dos Santos at UFC 160 on May 25, 2013. Hunt—in spite of his punching power and accuracy, which he exhibited in his last four bouts—is labeled as underdog between the two. Many experts think that his matchup with the former heavyweight champion will turn out to be like Dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson, which ended via unanimous decision in favor of Dos Santos.
Indeed, Hunt resembles Nelson in size, speed and striking style, although the former may possess the stronger punch. If Dos Santos’ fight with Nelson will be the basis, Hunt may as well end up on the losing side at UFC 160.
But this should not derail Hunt in his quest for a victory. Instead, he should take the time to study the fight and learn some useful pointers.
