UFC Fight Night 33...why you should care

Tomorrow night, 12/6/2013, Fox Sports1 will air UFC Fight Night 33. And I'm to tell you why you should watch.

Both men up to this have been recent contenders until they were stopped short by previous opponents. This however, will truly be a meeting of titans. Marc "Super Samoan" Hunt has been on a tear as of late until he was stopped by Junior dos Santos...a fight that Hunt took on short notice, against a man who seemingly is a perpetual contender within the heavyweight division. So losing here although might hurt, doesn't take much away from Hunts swagger or the fans love of him. For those that don't know, Hunt was a leftover from when UFC purchased the legendary Japanese promotion, Pride. Hunt was offered his wins purses on his remaining contract and was told that he was free to leave the organization if he wanted to. To that, Hunt said "No". He instead chose to fight and earn his place instead. Since then his initial fight in the UFC was a bust...but he has been knocking grown men unconscious, seemingly by accident almost. Basically, he hits hard...like, really hard. For proof of this, PLEASE watch this...

And for further proof, here is the X-ray of the "other guy" when it was all done...

Yeah...that giant gap in the jawline...like whoa.

Basically, Hunt is a textbook striker, heavy handed and he has a style that can lead you into a false sense of security only to put your state of being into another zip code. To which, more than one fighter has fallen.

Which leads us to, Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva. As the name would imply...the man is large and in charge. Silva was also a left over prospect from yet another promotion absorbed by UFC's parent company, Zuffa......Strikeforce. Here is where his name really started to gain steam, and once brought into the UFC fold he has really blossomed, holding wins of Fedor (yes, he was one of the first to beat him), Travis Browne, and his most recent win was over the insanely touted, Alistair Overeem.

Silva is huge...like hulk huge. I believe he actually has to have special XXXL gloves made for him if my memory serves correct. His most recent fight however was a loss, for the second time, to the current champ of the division, Cain Velasquez.But again, having the only loss in your most recent string of fights being against the current champ, doesn't take too much away. Although only Silva can say for sure.

So this is just the main event ladies and gentlemen. Other notables would include Rua vs Te Huna, which probably wont go the distance (understatement of the day) and perennial fan favorite, Pat Barry, who can leg kick you into a ambulance.
