A heavyweight matchup between legendary slugger Mark Hunt and submission ace and former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir will take place on Sunday 20th March from 11.30pm (NT time).

A native of nearby New Zealand, Hunt’s previous two UFC appearances have also taken place in Australia. Most recently, “The Super Samoan” scored a first-round TKO win over Antonio Silva at November’s UFC 193 event at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium. The victory snapped a disappointing two-fight losing streak for Hunt after falling short against Stipe Miocic and Fabricio Werdum in previous outings.

Meanwhile, Mir is looking to rebound from a disappointing UFC 191 loss to Andrei Arlovski via decision in a lackluster outing at September’s UFC 191 event. Prior to the defeat, Mir had earned back-to-back “Performance of the Night” victories over Todd Duffee and “Bigfoot” Silva.
