UFC: 5 Reasons Mark Hunt Will Fail To Claim Heavyweight Gold

3. Unfamiliar Territory And A Hostile Crowd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9uF0IqpKvI Mark Hunt is used to fight in Japan, where he is loved, America, where he is loved, and Australia, where he is loved (he's a Kiwi). He's literally never fought a single MMA bout anywhere else. Mexico City will be a whole new ballgame. The crowd was expecting their man Velasquez (who is American with Mexican heritage) against Brazil's Werdum. How will they react to Hunt? They may actually jump on the Werdum bandwagon, as he will be familiar to them thanks to the latin American version of the Ultimate Fighter, where Werdum and Velasquez are coaches.
