Hunt is one of the most explosive strikers in MMA history, carrying incredible power late into his fights. In spite of being overweight, his cardio is decent as evidenced by the number of wars he’s been in not only in MMA but also as a pro-kick-boxer.
He’s also incredibly strong, holding his own in a division full of giants despite being hardly 5’10” tall. A glaring hole in the Kiwi’s overall MMA game has been his grappling, and for those of you who aren’t aware engaging a fighter who’s an out-and-out striker like Hunt, in constant grappling-exchanges is a great way of tiring him out.
In stark contrast to Hunt, Overeem is as comfortable on the mat as he is on the feet, however, his cardio in both the striking and grappling aspects is less-than-stellar, to say the least. He’s one of the strongest and most powerful athletes in the division, carrying immense explosiveness in his strikes and the ability to muscle his opposition to the mat using his size and strength.
While both fighters excel in the strength and power aspects, their gas-tank is limited, not that it’d make much of a difference in this fight, what with the matchup being scheduled for 3 rounds and everything. Besides, this one ain’t going the distance folks!
Sensei Tiger says: Strength- Overeem; Power: Hunt; Cardio: Sea-level Cain.
