It’s easy to forget what a monster Mark Hunt was before he went on his epic losing streak when switching over to MMA. But in this first match with Jerome Le Banner, Mark Hunt proved his unbelievable toughness, genuine striking power, and heart, in one of the most brutal kickboxing matches I’ve ever seen. Jerome Le Banner kicks like he’s trying to move the earth itself. I can’t even imagine what it must feel like to be kicked by Jerome Le Banner.

Mark Hunt is always impressive to me, because he’s always fighting taller opponents, with a very soft physique, but he manages to hang with anyone they put in front of him. Even now, while competing in the UFC, Mark Hunt is still able to be very competitive at the advanced age of 37 years old!
