Mark Hunt vs Melvin Manhoef Fields Dynamite!! fight set with Jerome LeBanner scratched
“Super Samoan” Mark Hunt will have to wait a little while longer to put longtime nemesis Jerome LeBanner into permanent retirement — “Battle Cyborg” has been forced off the insanely stacked New Year’s Eve Fields Dynamite!! card at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan on December 31 with an illness.
K-1 wrecking machine and mixed martial arts veteran Melvin Manhoef has agreed to fill-in for the Frenchman on super short notice. In doing so, he will be at a huge size disadvantage — Manhoef recently competed in the 2008 DREAM Middleweight Grand Prix.
Hunt, meanwhile, is a heavyweight. And a big one at that.
More on this breaking news in a bit.
