As for why Mark Hunt was a favourite. Well, he's made a career out of knocking out monsters.

And that's the whole issue. I prefer to watch the striking and as a result two standing fighters, but its also exciting to watch good grappling and guys actively doing things on the ground to try to submit their opponents. What I don't want to watch is someone who is a great wrestler take his opponent down and do nothing. Or pin him against the cage and just hold him there. Those two are why I don't want to watch Cormier fight.
