While nothing has been announced, it’s interesting to see the face of former PRIDE heavyweight Mark Hunt (5-3) on the promotional banner for DREAM 5, which coincidentally features a heavyweight showdown between Mirko Cro Cop — who also appears on the banner — and Jerome LeBanner — who does not.
Hmmm …

i heard he is fighting sergei.
i hope so because that is another fighter i have never seen live and would love to see.
and i went to the last dream and i must say they r doing mma pride style and i love it.
I also hear that Hunt will fight Sergei. I dont know who I would root for since they are 2 of my favorite heavyweights!
I hope that this fuight gets booked! I guess they are looking to replace the Mach vs. Diaz fight
Mania, iT has been announced that Hunt is OFFICIALLY SIGNED ON to fight at DREAM 5. No opponent has been announced yet, but Hunt is fighting for Sure…..Which is GREAT NEWS!!!
i whould love to see that rematch
Rematch? they never fought!
he might b thinking cro cop-hunt/2?
and misread the article.
cro cop and hunt fought in pride hunt won the decison
Hunt didn’t impress me at all his last fight.. he seemed lazy and over confident
niiice. PRIDE resurrected from the tombs right there. Hunt has been MIA for a minute now.
Nice.
Awesome. He has had some wicked fights in Pride.
Hoping he’s at his best when he gets back in the ring cos if he is he can give anyone a fight on a good day. He’s fought some highly rated fighters considering the small number of fights he has had and if its kharitonov then that will make an already impressive card even better.
Can’t wait for this one!
I would love to see sergei and hunt fight that would be an all out WAR!!!
haha,ha Hunt ce opet probati sa istom taktikom. Pokušati će nametnuti pritisak Mirku. Istu je takvu taktiku savjetovao i Gonzagi. “samo naprijed i ne puštaj ga da se razmaše” , ali ovaj put čisto sumljam. Mirko ce ga razbit. Jedva čekam.
Mirko samo naprijed sa treninzima, uspijeh sigurno neće izostati.
yeah i totally agree.
Well said. My favorite part was the Istu je takvu taktiku part.
Jesus. Uno, the Crusher, Alvarez, Aoki, Cro Cop, Kid, Akiyama, Hunt and Minowaman. Who could argue with that card?
A lot of people could, but they would be wrong.
Jerome isnt going to be announced for the card until he is medically cleared to fight following his K1 title match with Schilt that is on 6/29.
Check out this new(ish) interview with Mark Hunt in Rogue magazine:

He says that he wants a rematch with Fedor in DREAM sometime soon as well!
He wasnt as impressive his last fight.
