That’s definitely the most inshape Mark Hunt has ever been. I’m excited for his fight since he wasn’t a fish outta water on the ground in PRIDE and being at ATT will definitely be a huge help for his ground game.

Any guesses what his weight will be at?

Yep

And training at ATT will help him a ton…His top game will be much improved and I don’t see him being as bad as Manhoof on his back. McCorkle doesn’t really have much of a shot in my opinion.

Mark said it best.

should have been here years ago

It’s a shame he wasted most of his prime getting fat and training half-assed. Just imagine how good he could have been if he had trained his ass off and stayed in reasonable shape.

He seems to be in a much better shape. Too bad he took so long to take things seriously.

I thought he was talking about Mike Brown, but I have a tough time with his accent.

Also, JZ always strikes me as the happiest dude on earth.

Him, Wand, and the Cyborgs

Just seem like the nicest people outside of fighting. I do feel for him you could tell he’s frustrated about the Strikeforce booking.

I think he meant Mike Brown. I also don’t think he’s really a member of the Travelling community /PC

cool to see

carina damm training with all those guys

I felt that watching that video was a huge waste of time, but the few seconds of sweaty Carina Damm nipple action at around the 7:05 mark somehow made it worth it.

She’s gotten very……….strange looking as of late. Check out her last fight in Strikeforce. Didn’t even resemble her former self.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

Add JZ to the list of guys who less than thrilled with Strikeforce’s matchmaking (or lack thereof in his case).

Mark should be training at American Bottom Team if he wants to win because that’s probably where he’ll end up in this fight

by TyTy on Sep 5, 2010 2:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Just as long as they are power bottoms cause they supply all the power

Hunt was one talented SOB. I hope he gets an impressive win.

America Top Team always seemed like one of the most close-knit camps out there in their videos and some of their post-fight interviews (coming to mind in particular is Mike Brown, who, after his successful title defense against Urijah Faber, nearly broke down crying when asked about the camp: “they’re my family” after which he broke off the interview and went into a huddle with them). That video was a ta pointless, but it’s hard to hate on them. It’s like they’re a brotherhood. And Carina Damm.

Good stuff...

Mark is looking good. Its nice to see that he appears to be taking this opportunity as seriously as it needs to be taken. He may not have a legitimate shot at a title run, but putting together some good years in the UFC could seriously pay off financially.

I like Fedor, it’s just his fans that are intolerable...and his management.
