Review: 2013-12-07, there is a good news and a bad news…we start with the good one: the second part of Silva vs Hunt was simply amazing, one of toughest battle ever, everything you could want from a candidate for Fight of the Year! But now the bad news: we usually rate the complete fight and the first part was not so exciting with both fighters throwing just a few shots and in such cases we can’t give more than four stars; Antonio Silva and Mark Hunt were awarded “UFC Fight of the Night” honors.
