[edit] Formatting
Could someome possibly reformat the two main sections for his careers in kickboxing and MMA? They are just several large blocks of text (which isn't exactly easy to read) and also both seem a bit long. MezzoMezzo 17:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Street fight and edits
Seems like a few people have been editing this article.
Citiation needed for Mark Hunt's streetfight? i don't see why, but anyway, http://www.muaythaionline.net/features/mhinterview.html
"So how did you first get involved in the sport? I was in a street fight 7 years ago and one of the bouncers asked if I would like to Thai fight so that is how I got involved. "
I've also read an article on him (that seems to be offline) saying that he started the sport after a streetfight in Auckland that didn't last very long, with Mark Hunt obviously the winner.

[edit] Voice and content
The voice in this article is ok, but it's almost too formal, particularly considering he subkject matter. The content itself almost goes too deep and becomes tangential at times. Like you don't have to say that Mark Hunt mentioned he learned a flying armbar, but (unsurprisingly) never attempted it.
I really wish anyone looking to write a MMA fighter profile would first familiarize himself w/ IBHOF profiles first. They're both more professional and less snooty.
- So the article is too formal/snooty and yet you question the relevance of the one moment of levity in it. Okay. I didn't write the piece, but I think that section actually gives a good insight into Hunt's personality as he always comes across as being very laid back and self effacing. When a 130kg kickboxer suggests he's going to start using acrobatic submissions it's a funny remark and is typical of Mark's attitude in interviews. Could you be a bit more specific about your last comment, what is it about the IBHOF profiles that you'd like here? --- Trench 23:42, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
