History / Introduction to both fighters
David: Part of me would prefer that this fight a) not happen and b) could not happen. Mark Hunt is technically not used. He is 3-2-1 NC in his last six games. With victories on pretty important names. But it has been clear for some time that he is fighting for time because he lost six fights from 2006 to 2010. I still love you, big guy.
Phil: Man, Mark Hunt has a lot of main and main events. In some ways, he has entered the role of Michael Bisping, to be the leader of the economic incursions into new markets. The difference between the two is not just their size: despite his tendency to say nonsense, Bisping was the definition of a corporate man, and Hunt certainly is not. He is much more vocal than Bisping when it comes to PED in the sport, which is not surprising considering his history with Lesnar, Overeem, Silva and now Werdum. He definitely arrives at the end of his tenure at the UFC, and in some ways he is a treasure that I will be sad to see go away, but in other (and more important) he is a man 44-year-old who has absorbed frightening amounts of punishment. during a sporting career of 20 years. I hope that it does not break.
David: Oliynyk's last name is harder to spell than Joanna Jedrzejczyk – I particularly like the fact that our overlords Chorus also seemed to have given up. For some reason, the second "y" still sneaks in, and I find myself breaking my keyboard, and losing the day we contractually agreed to preview the main events. Nevertheless, OO is a fighter who is worth seeing because he is a heavyweight who does not lose often, and he can stop improbably.
Phil: The young man in the fight, Alexei Oleinik is someone whose family name is spelled in many ways. Alexey Alexeyevich Oleynik is a relatively 41-year-old man. Like many veteran and experienced fighters, he has been around the block. He was present at some of the world M-1 events, he arrived at KSW at one point and participated in at least one event that resembles that of Mario Kart ("The Mayor's Cup"?). The pride of the place must go to its only appearance in Yamma Pit Fighting. Something that Ollyynyk shares with Hunt is that he did not really appear until late in his career, picking up some of his most recent victories relatively recently (scarf on Cro Cop!). He is the kind of fighter that could really exist only in the heavyweights: strong, hard, but extremely slow and with a specialty in one of the strange strangers of the game.
Where do they want it?
Phil: As mentioned, we have already covered Mark Hunt many times. Left hook in the check and the varieties to jump, right and left. Fierce speed and incredible durability that are down. The main question I ask myself is the quality of his withdrawal defense. It's certainly not an elite, as Blaydes, Lesnar and Miocic demonstrate. But is that good? I'm still not quite sure. Hunt remains extremely strong physically, with a low center of gravity, very difficult to disrupt. But fighters like Struve and Bigfoot Silva were able to tilt him to the mat, who are not fantastic offensive wrestlers. This seems to be the key issue of the fight, really. Oleinik has done a lot of surprising things over the last year, but winning a kickboxing match against Mark Hunt would be pretty shocking.
David: I think the problem with Hunt is that his defense is really good against the guys with the technique and bad against the guys trying to control him. Or is it the opposite? Basically, Hunt does a great job of unleashing the counterattacks and moving forward so that the opponents fall into the fall. The jamming does not always work against him because he is fat, but short. Unfortunately for Hunt, he is at this stage of his career where his opponents can beat him in many ways. Of course, he is better on the field. But it is also worse on the feet. He is always dangerous, which makes the fight quite interesting.
PhilOleinik's style is the definition of ugly and deceptive functionality. There are grapplers who never really learn the power when they hit. He is not one of them. Despite his slowness and speed, he has the ability to land on powerful throws and a pawn for pawns. Most of the time, everything depends on melee, where he can catch strange strangulations and / or drag his opponents to the ground.
David: Credit to Oleinik. If you stuck Harold Howard in a blender filled with jiu jitsu, Sakuraba training videos, vodka and bristles on your chest, Oleinik would be the violent and thick brew. OO has only one strategy: to threaten with a punch / kick, and to cling to life until the opponent is down, and finally go out with the voodoo starter with which he can pull you off. Other than that, there is not much else in his game. It's not a blow to him, so I hope that being sober is not confusing for apathy. It's just that he's the best and the worst heavyweight.
Insight of past fights
David: Oleinik is a favorite, so Hunt just needs to find Oleinik in the open waters of the post-round-one.
Phil: The two men lost to Curtis Blaydes, and that does not tell us anything. Daniel Omielanczuk, on the other hand, was a notable loss for Oleinik, where he was tired by the young fighter. In general, he struggled to win battles beyond the second round, with the exception of a bid on fellow Tony Lopez.
X factors
DavidWhenever you have an exorbitant amount of sweat and meat slamming together, the laws of physics become a factor X.
Phil: These two men are old in hell and I wonder if Hunt really cares a lot. It's also a heavyweight.
Prognosis
PhilOleinik has already had some outstanding victories (notably Cro Cop), but I'm going to believe that Hunt's defense has held up well. If so, he is not a man to be frightened by Oleinik's savage strike. Mark Hunt by TKO, turn 2.
David: It's heavy weight. Not just heavy trucks. But the old heavyweight. The fact that a Hunt victory has a fighting sense means that Hunt will not win. Ironically, the heavyweight looks like the subatomic world, where quantum wheels do not care about your facts. Oleksiy Oleinik by banana split split, round 1.
