Junior dos Santos vs. Mark Hunt
UFC.com
Much like the bout between Glover Teixeira and James Te-Huna, this heavyweight tussle between Junior dos Santos and Mark Hunt features two extremely dangerous strikers, one Brazilian with potentially underrated grappling and one New Zealand native with a history of submission losses.
Either fighter could win this fight standing, as Dos Santos and Hunt have the ability to knock any human unconscious with a single punch.
For that reason, Dos Santos may decide to take the safest route to victory and look for a takedown.
With past takedowns of Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson, Dos Santos is more than capable of grounding Hunt, who has been taken down by Ben Rothwell, Chris Tuchscherer and others. Once he does, even with his lack of in-competition experience on the ground, Dos Santos should be able to do what Sean McCorkle could before him and force Hunt to tap.
