At the end of the third it shoud have been stopped.

When it wasnt, his corner should have saved him from all those repeated blows to the head by saving he has had enough. They were just hoping he would connect with something but he was out on his feet

Hunt by Submission

Most certainly time for Mark Hunt to call it quits. He was swinging at air most of that fight, doesn't have the size or fitness for these big guys, too slow.

The White Feather · 10-05-2015 6:06am

Miocic had 361 total strikes whereas Hunt had 46....................

Miocic by Submission

Disgraceful that the Miocic vs Hunt fight wasn't stopped earlier. Shocking stuff from both the ref and Hunt's corner.

Fighters are generally given more of a chance if they're known as the tough guy with potential to come back, so they're more liable to take a horrible beating. Add that with all the crowd shouting for Hunt and you had last night's fiasco. Sheer incompetence by the ref, doctor and cornermen. It looked very bad for the sport, he looked like he was going to fall over when we got off his stool at the end of the 5th, completely devoid of any energy.

I can never understand these fat fighters and why they won't lose weight. Sure they've done ok in the division but they should be fighting smaller guys and lhw or mw. If you stripped the fat off nelson and hunt then there probably both true middleweights. They shouldn't be getting hit by 265 pounds of muscle. And yes I do know that both guys have knocked out huge hw opponents

Enjoyable card but christ on a bike, the ref was about to stop Hunt from getting pulverised in the 3rd round but backed out. Shouldn't have gone beyond that. Very depressing watching a fighter take that sort of beating.

Sam Alvey and Whittaker were incredible. I'd love that match up.... at UFC 189.

Alex Chambers is everything you love about MMA. Takes an absolute thrashing but still trys to find a way to win and did it late on. Great stuff.

The ref for the main event was John Sharpe. Well known at in MMA circles, even grassroots. (He was the offical who patted me down before my first fight)
He's also be a reasonable friendly with Mark Hunt. I'd like to think he'd always be objective in the octagon, but I can't help but think his decision to let it continue was partially emotionally influenced yesterday.
he was the ref for Hunt v Bigfoot also.

Mellor · 11-05-2015 1:32am

Alex Chambers is a good fighter, and a nice person. But she is too small for 115lbs. Was atomweight before TUF.

Isn't hunt from smaon descent, iirc being fat is a sign of wealth in that culture. could have something to do with it

It's a culture alright. Doesn't make it right though. He's a professional athlete and should act like one

Tbh I think he just likes his food too.
