Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-06-11, fight not so exciting between Mark Hunt and Derrick Lewis: it gets two stars (UFC Fight of the Night).Derrick Lewis entered this fight with a professional mma record of 18-4-0 (94% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.8 heavyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Stipe Miocic). He lost to Shawn Jordan in 2015 but then he has won six bouts beating Shamil Abdurakhimov (=Lewis vs Abdurakhimov) and Travis Browne in his last two (=Lewis vs Browne).
His opponent, the 43-year-old (Lewis is eleven years younger) former K-1 world champion Mark Hunt, has an official record of 12-11-1 (75% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) and he entered as the No.7 in the same weight class. He fought twice last year beating Frank Mir (=Hunt vs Mir) and losing to Brock Lesnar (then the result was overturned in a no-contest since the WWE wrestler tested positive for clomiphene, Lesnar vs Hunt); after this bout he lost to Alistair Overeem in 2017 (=Overeem vs Hunt 2).

Great Fight, 2 massive bangers. Lewis probably shouldn’t have taken that so soon after having the damaged rib though.
