Mark Hunt put in another top notch performance at UFC Fight Night 85, so what’s next for the heavy hitting ‘Super Samoan?’

The heavyweight division wouldn’t be the same without Mark Hunt, and he proved it once again with a thunderous knockout win against Frank Mir in Australia. The two mixed martial arts legends collided in the UFC Fight Night 85 main event last night (Saturday March 19, 2016), but it was a purely one sided affair. For ‘The Super Samoan,’ it was just about finding the opening to land one fight ending strike.

That opportunity came in the opening round, with less than three minutes transpired, as Hunt launched a spectacular right hand that bounced off Mir’s head. As the ex-UFC heavyweight champion flopped to the canvas, the New Zealander walked off like a gangster. Another one punch KO under Hunt’s belt, and now a range of potential big fights await him.

So what’s next for Mark Hunt? We’ve picked out five possible opponents for the fan friendly ‘Super Samoan’ to battle next, check it out:

junior dos santos ufc

Winner of dos Santos vs. Rothwell

Another former UFC heavyweight champion in Junior dos Santos will tangle with Ben Rothwell at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 86 on April 10. Now might be the right time for Hunt to avenge his spectacular knockout loss to ‘Cigano,’ but that would all depend on ‘JDS’ getting past ‘Big Ben’ next month. Rothwell could also be a great fight for Hunt if he beats dos Santos, with either fight being worthy of headlining a Fight Night card, or perhaps a co-main on a pay-per-view.
