Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-03-20, pretty good finish between Mark Hunt and Frank Mir but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two (UFC Performance of the Night).The 2001 K-1 champion Mark Hunt entered this fight with a professional mma record of 11-10-1 (73% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won by submission) and he is ranked as the No.8 heavyweight in the world. He suffered two consecutive losses between 2014 and 2015, against Fabricio Werdum (=Werdum vs Hunt) and Stipe Miocic (=Hunt vs Miocic), but then he came back to win against Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva (=Hunt vs Silva 2).
His opponent, the black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and former Ufc Hw champion Frank Mir, has an official record of 18-10-0 (78% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.10 in the same weight class. He fought three times last year beating ‘Bigfoot’ Silva (=Silva vs Mir) and Todd Duffee (4-stars-fight, Mir vs Duffee) but then he lost to Andrei Arlovski (=Arlovski vs Mir).
