Maybe this is talking ****, I mean it's hard to gauge in a way, but UFC seems too popular for fighters to be earning so little. It comes across as Dana being a **** businessman, really.

Some part of me would love Conor and a huge billionaire or something get together and make their own platform and start stealing fighters from UFC.

tl:dr MMA needs a Kerry Packer.

Bisping's the champ and Brock mother****ing Lesnar is back. Man the UFC just got seriously exciting. UFC 200 is going to be unbelievably fun.

Hunt has a style pretty well suited to Brock really. Hunt's TDD has never been good, nor has his Jiu Jitsu, though he has improved. Brock is going to run at him, take him down and pound on him. Could be ugly. Hunt's only hope is that he keeps it standing, but considering Brock managed to take Cain down, I don't think he has much chance.

Hunts TDD is one of the best in the UFC statistically IIRC?

But yea super fun fight. Flash KO or brutal GnP. Could go either way. Could even be a 5 round (this will be 5 rounds right?) bloody war. Hyped.

He's been taken down quite a few times by guys with wrestling backgrounds nowhere near as good as Brock's. If guys like Tuchscherer and Rothwell could take him down, then Brock will have no trouble. Brock has successfully taken down every opponent he has faced other than Ubereem, but that was juiced out of his gills Overeem when Brock was just off stomach surgery. Brock will take Hunt down, it's just whether he can put him away. If he can't, then Hunt is so dangerous on the feet that he has every chance of knocking Brock out. It's going to be a great fight. I see Brock taking it though.
