Welcome to another week of MMA on Instagram! It’s double fight week so the fighters were obviously posting a ton of pics and video, none more than one of our favorite, Mark Hunt. I know I missed some but I still counted 30 Mark Hunt videos this week. So, in order to not deprive you of all the Mark Hunt fun, I am breaking them out into their own separate Fan Post, just for this week. Excessive Mark Hunt! I I also have quite a few World Cup pics and videos and I will give them a separate post tomorrow, too. In the meantime, enjoy all this other stuff and have fun watching tons and tons of UFC!
