By: Alex Williams, MMATorch Contributor Melvin Manhoef will be replacing Jerome Le Banner in a MMA fight against Mark Hunt, according to K-1 DREAM's website. Multiple sources report that Le Banner had to bow out of the match due to a bout with the flu. Bryan Alvarez at Figure 4 Weekly Online notes that Hunt weighed-in at 287 pounds yesterday. Manhoef, meanwhile, did not officially weigh-in. However, with no weight limit, Manhoef came in at 187 pounds for a kickboxing match last month, indicating that there will likely be a 100 pound weight difference between the two.
