Mark Hunt set for rematch with Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva – UFC

The one caveat to the fight becoming official is UFC 193 still doesn’t actually have a home in Melbourne, where the show is expected to take place.

The fight is yet to be confirmed by UFC, but is being reported by multiple sources. The idea was squashed when the UFC announced McGregor vs. Aldo will take place at UFC 194 on December. 12 in Las Vegas.

On November 14th, the world’s largest MMA promotion will be heading down under for UFC 193 in Melbourne.

And he won’t have to wait too long, colliding next with Robert Whittaker at UFC 193, which is set to go down in Melbourne, Australia, on November. 15, 2015.

The Etihad Stadium can hold up to 60,000 spectators for concerts and other such events, which means that UFC 193 could potentially break the organisation’s 55,724 attendance record, which was set in Toronto in April 2011. UFC president Dana White said in a press release. Robbie Lawler is coming off of the most exciting title defense in welterweight history. He knocked out Rory MacDonald in July.

Hunt, 41, earnt an interim title shot by knocking out Roy Nelson after his war with Silva.

In the co-main event, Australian knockout artist and fan-favourite Mark “Super Samoan” Hunt (10-9-1, fighting out of Sydney, Australia) and Brazilian behemoth Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (19-7-0 1 NC, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Florida, USA) will meet in the Octagon once again to settle their 2013 “Fight of the Year” draw, remembered as the greatest UFC heavyweight fight of all time.

Bisping has fought three times in Australia himself, most recently getting submitted by Luke Rockhold after defeating Jorge Rivera and losing a controversial decision to former Pride great Wanderlei Silva. Ticket prices will be available at a later date. General on sale will commence on Monday, September 21 at 10 a.m. AEST.
