Mark Hunt Worried About Making Weight For Heavyweight Title Shot Against Fabricio Werdum

News

Mark Hunt says that his only concern about meeting Fabricio Werdum on November 15 for the interim heavyweight title is being able to make weight with such short notice.

Hunt told MMAFighting.com he had no second thoughts when he was offered the title fight on Tuesday, despite only receiving three weeks to prepare for the biggest fight of his MMA career.

“Don’t think I [hestitated],” he said. “Only challenge is making weight.”

Hunt weighed 137 kg (302 pounds) when he was officially offered the fight on Tuesday, meaning he’ll need to lose 37 pounds before the weigh-in on Nov. 14.
