UFC Fight Night 85 is headlined by a crucial showdown in the UFC’s heavyweight division.
No. 9-ranked heavyweight contender Mark Hunt (11-10-1) will stand opposite No. 10-ranked Frank Mir (18-10) on Saturday, March 19 at 10 p.m. ET.
Hunt is a former title challenger, and Mir is a former champion. Both are looking for another run at gold in the top-heavy, and aging, UFC heavyweight division. This is a chance to win a main event on television and state their case.
Hunt is coming off a November victory against Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, and Mir is returning from a decision loss to Andrei Arlovski at UFC 191. The result may end the title hopes for the loser and send them out of the top 10 for good.
Who can establish themselves once again as a contender? Where do the advantages lie for each fighter? Let’s take a look.
