VIDEO: “The Irish are crazy” – UFC star Mark Hunt discovers infamous GAA brawl

New fan?

Wonder if we’ll be seeing any of these moves inside the Octagon any time soon?

Mark Hunt is one of the biggest fan favourites in the UFC. The Super Samoan’s striking heavy style and his trademark sense of humour saw him garner a huge fanbase in the sport, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere.

Not only that, but he’s not bad at fighting either. His 11-10-1 record is somewhat misleading as the knockout artist has collected some pretty big scalps throughout his career including Ben Rothwell, Roy Nelson, Stefan Struve and Bigfoot Silva. He even fought for the interim heavyweight strap, albeit losing his shot to Fabricio Werdum at UFC 180.

The man has been in some vicious wars down the years, including his Fight of 2013 candidate against Bigfoot. He’s knocked people out, he’s been rendered unconscious, he’s seen blood, broken bones and all sorts of carnage inside the cage.

However, all this violence did not adequately prepare the UFC star for a classic GAA brawl, it would seem.

 

omg the Irish are f**kin crazy!
