At the UFC Fight Night 85 post-fight press conference on Saturday, UFC heavyweight contender Mark Hunt spoke about the stoppage in his main event bout with Frank Mir, as well as his thoughts on what he hopes is next for his career.

Hunt scored yet another “walk-off knockout” in the first round of his UFN 85 main event with the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, however some felt that the stoppage was a bit premature.

Hunt was not one of those people.

“Frank, he was still in the dark lands when I saw him [after landing the punch],” Hunt said in response to those questioning if the stoppage was too soon. “His face was still…he wasn’t there, so I just left it. He wasn’t there. He was out, somewhere else.”

After making those comments, several in attendance at the post-fight press conference broke out into laughter.

“Well, it’s true,” Hunt said after hearing the laughter. “He wasn’t there. He was blacked out.”

As far as what is next for Hunt, he was quick to point out that he has never lost a rematch when talking about wanting a second crack at UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum.

“I’d fight any of the top guys,” Hunt said. “I could rematch any of those guys – JDS, Stipe, the guy with the belt…Fabricio…I’ve never lost a rematch, so I’d like to rematch any one of those guys.”
