A rumor was swirling over the past week that heavyweights Mark Hunt and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva would be squaring off at a ‘Fight Night’ event in Australia. That bout is now official and will headline the UFC Fight Night 33 card in December.
Mark Hunt vs. Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva set to headline UFC Fight Night 33
UFC officials announced the match-up and the event on Monday.
Hunt (9-8) lost his UFC debut against Sean McCorkle at UFC 119 which had his MMA record at 5-7. He followed up with four straight victories and led him to the biggest fight of his UFC career against Junior dos Santos at UFC 160. Unfortunately his winning streak came to a hault when dos Santos landed a spinning back kick to end Hunt’s night.
Silva (16-4) is coming off a loss to Cain Velasquez at UFC 160. He earned the rematch against Velasquez by defeating Travis Browne and Alistair Overeem.
UFC Fight Night 33 will go down on December 7 from the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in the Queensland capital. No other fights have been announced for the card.
