Gladiators, but beautiful one's to watch without the savageness, yet all the heart, courage and I must say those dudes like the fight. Really well documented video. VoteSport., your work is appreciated.

Such a humble & low profile attitude from a man who got tons of bricks in his punches. Legends.

His Ray Sefo fight will always be one of the craziest things I've ever seen in combat sports. It's like if the Max Holloway v. Ricardo Lamas "point at the ground and swing" moment occurred multiple times in one fight, was punctuated with one or more fighters willingly eating hard shots to the head and laughing it off, and with world class HEAVYWEIGHT KICKBOXERS.

That's normal for polynesians to smash each other and enjoy doing it and then maybe chill over a few drinks afterwards. In the pacific we say to kids "if you want to play, don't cry" which basically we grow up with that mentality. We're not afraid to bang for fun or for real haha. Watch the rugby fights too, just the norms haha.

I love how this gives context to a lot of Mark Hunt's fights. Honestly gives you an idea of what was going on in the life of a fighter, especially when someone is going through a very traumatic situation and struggling to cope. Love this perspective.

The only way to really know, would be to measure every heavyweight boxer for their punching power, on the same day, on the same machine. Heavyweight boxers are always going to hit harder than kickboxers, it's all they train to do. Wilder I'm sure hits harder than Ngannou, and maybe other heavyweights hit even harder.

It's common for polynesians to ignore physical pain. They naturally have a high tolerance for pain and are naturally tough as people even the women are as strong as the men

The second knockdown they showed of him while introducing him is just freaking insane. The amount of power he was hit with and still able to keep concentration and the power to knock him out. Man is a literal bus.

I have followed boxing all my life . I occasionally watched UFC , when it started . Did not have any knowledge of The K1 comp , because of living in Australia . When I saw MH in action , I thought " holy s..t " where did this guy come from ! " I am Samoan , and when I found out that Mark is as well , my heart and pride swelled . The hurt and pain from your past , should and will make you stronger for your future . Believe it !

Proper hard....could take the hardest of punches.. Hit like an absolute truck and top bloke.

Keiner konnte so hart schlagen wie Mark Hunt . Seine kämpfe waren immer spektakulär.

Mark was always in the Hunt for the no1 spot, king of the walk off KO in K1 + MMA.

I loved Mark Hunt in the UFC. He seemed like a very laid-back guy who just happened to punch the shit out of people for a living. The amount of punishment he could and did absorb was ridiculous, and his power was amazing. The thing I respected the most about him is how he never dove onto an opponent once he laid him out and started hammerfisting until the ref pulled him off. He knew when he'd laid someone out before the referee did and didn't take any gratuitous extra shots. That's really rare in MMA. I hope he has a long and happy retirement, though with the sheer amount of blows he got hit with, I'm worried he'll end up like so many combat sports athletes, crippled by CTE and similar things.

True fighter

I love this guy, a true sportsman !
