![]() Spitz will be making his UFC debut, but he doesn’t seem all that concerned with his opponent. Are you kidding me? That would make a killing, especially with fight fans in the UK, Godbeer’s native land. But I’m wondering why he hasn’t got into the craft beer industry. Godbeer told UFC.com his nickname “Came about after numerous KOs.” That makes sense. Such is the case with Mark “The Hand Of” Godbeer, who will take on Daniel “Daddy Long Legs” Spitz in a matchup of two heavyweights. If your nickname contains a pun, that means it’s so bad it’s good.

Hunt also has a lawsuit pending against the UFC and Brock Lesnar due to Lesnar’s positive tests after they fought at UFC 200, alleging racketeering, fraud, and other malfeasance. “‘Cause he’s got no steroids.” Hunt also has a gameplan if Overeem tests positive for PEDs after the fight. Asked by Sherdog to give his thoughts on the fight, Hunt said Overeem will get knocked out. Overeem has been busted for PEDs before and Hunt has been extremely vocal about how the sport needs to clean up and do away with PED users. These are two OGs who have been at it for a very long time, both still trying to remain contenders in the UFC heavyweight division. Hunt has been in the game since 2004, and he is now 42. ![]() Overeem has been fighting MMA professionally since 1999 when he was just 19.

The two fought to the rare majority draw in their first fight at UFC 205, which allowed Woodley to retain his title. 1 contender for the title - in a rematch?
