UFC Fight Night 110 has a fight card which is most certainly mouth watering for the fans, but the real attraction of the night is going to be the fight between two of the sports hardest hitting heavyweights, namely, Derrick Lewis and Mark Hunt. This is the main event of the night when UFC fight night gets underway in Auckland, New Zealand on 10th June.

Mark Hunt is going to be fighting on home soil and Derrick Lewis seems to be unfazed by the fact that he is going to be walking right into lion’s den. In terms of recent form, Lewis at the moment is really flying and is on a six fight win streak. The most impressive part of that statistic though is the fact that five of those six wins have come via the way of knockouts. This means Lewis is certainly going to be high on confidence come June 10th. Hunt is going to be hungry to be the one to put an end to Lewis’ winning streak in front of home support. How will it all play out? Well, considering that both fighters land punches that can be devastating and fight ending, it may well come down to who lands the first blow with proper contact.

Mark Hunt is going to be well aware of the fact that Lewis is not the best when fight goes to the ground. It is no secret that grappling is the weak point in Lewis’ game and Hunt is going to do everything he can to get Lewis horizontal and onto the mat. Hunt is also a very good defender and knows how to protect himself and wear the opponent down before making his move.

Prediction – Mark Hunt to win in his home country by Knock Out.

Former UFC flyweight title contender Joseph Benavidez has pulled out of his scheduled flyweight bout against Ben Nguyen at UFC Fight Night 110 due to a torn ACL. It did not take long for the promotion to find someone to replace Benavidez at the event as Nguyen has a new opponent.

Nguyen (17-6) may have lost one former title challenger, but he gained another in Tim Elliott (14-7-1), who will step in to replace Benavidez at the event. UFC officials announced the switch late Wednesday night.

Following his first stint with the promotion that ended in a release due to three consecutive losses, Elliott earned his way back into the promotion through “The Ultimate Fighter 24” tournament where he earned an immediate title shot at UFC flyweight champion and pound-for-pound king Demetrious Johnson. Although he put up one heck of a fight, Elliott came up short in his title fight opportunity against Johnson at The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale last December. He rebounded from that loss by earning a unanimous decision over Louis Smolka in the “Fight of the Night” at UFC on FOX 24 in April.

On the flip side, Nguyen is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Geane Herrera at UFC Fight Night 101 in November. He has won three of his four fights under the UFC banner.

UFC Fight Night 110 takes place on July 11 in Auckland, New Zealand at the Vector Arena. The main card airs on FOX Sports 1 while the prelims will air on UFC Fight Pass and FOX Sports 1. Mark Hunt vs. Derrick Lewis will headline this event in a heavyweight bout while Derek Brunson vs. Daniel Kelly will serve as the co-main event in a middleweight bout. Here is the updated card for the event:

Mark Hunt vs. Derrick Lewis

Derek Brunson vs. Daniel Kelly
