Mark Hunt wants top 5 opponent next

[Wild]

with back-to-back first-round knockouts under his belt, Hunt is ready to scale back into the upper echelon of the UFC heavyweight ranks. And as long as his next opponent is ranked atop the division, Hunt isn't going to discriminate.

"Any of them is fine," Hunt said Monday on The MMA Hour. "Any of the top-five guys would be fine."

With all eight UFC heavyweights ranked above him currently booked, Hunt may be forced to wait if his hope is too land a top-level opponent.

Hunt's only three losses during that span came against Werdum, Miocic, and dos Santos -- three of the top-six heavyweights in the world -- and Hunt has never been shy about the fact that he is undefeated in rematches throughout his pugilistic career.

"I want my rematch with those guys," Hunt said. "That fight with Stipe taught me a big lesson there, never to be so much over weight before the fight. It was a problem. So I won't be doing that again."

Depending on medical outcomes he could fight JDS next. It's only about 2 weeks until JDS fights

There are a growing handful of guys who have been around a long time and need a title shot. They may not have "earned" it in the basic sense, but this is clearly the end of their careers and their tenure alone should afford them this opportunity. Mark is one of them.

I understand what you're saying, but I'd rather see those guys fight each other to see who earns the number one contender spot instead of just throwing a bunch of guys at the champ because we can.

In most cases I would agree. This is not one of them. Mostly because I want have Huntos children.

I think he could actually fight his way to a title shot. Stipe, Werdum and Cain are the only people I can see beating Hunt, but I think he can beat all of them on any given night as well. I don't think a Stipe rematch would look anything like the first one did.

...But I hear ya.

He actually won the first round against Werdum and got caught in 2nd..at High Altitude to boot!!

If Ben wins he should fight for title.

Wasn't that on like a weeks notice too? And he had to cut weight as well.

He already beat Rothwell once as well.
