Mark Hunt Already Looking Ahead To Next Fight, Says He Is Ready To Go In November

News

Mark Hunt is already ready to get back in the Octagon.

Following his second-round knockout of Roy Nelson on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 52 in Japan, Hunt told reporters that he is injury-free and ready, willing and able to fight again on Nov. 7 in Sydney.

“I want to move forward,” he said. “I want to move up into the rankings. I want to get a title shot. My purpose is to fight for a title. Fighting someone outside of the top-10, it makes me go backwards.

The problem is that there really isn’t anyone available for Hunt to fight. Alistair Overeem is already booked, although a match against Matt Mitrione certainly wouldn’t be out of question.

“But hey, of course I would consider fighting someone outside of the top-10 if it was in Sydney. What’s up, boss?”
