This will be Hunto's last fight under contract. Regardless of the outcome, it's unlikely that Dana will look to re-sign him.

Where does Mark Hunt go if this is it for him with the UFC?

Not sure if he'll 100% retire, the man is a savage.

And chances are RIZIN is NOT a thing if he wants to get away from the Steroid problem.

BUT... I would pay money to see Mark Hunt do some Bare Knuckle Boxing if he wanted. Seems to be the rout with strikers nowadays. Or Glory.

Hard to say mex.He has been geting pretty nice purses for a while now, he might just hang em' up. that's my guess; he'll probably focus on running a gym and training.

@HD

I don't think Hunt turns down an offer from RIZIN.  He is well known in Japan and he has the ability to earn a lot of money in base pay and sponsors than anywhere else.  Not only that, Hunt is buddy buddy with Sakakibara if memory serves me right.  Plus while the steroid problem is a factor in him possibly saying no to RIZIN, given what we have learned with regards to the UFC with how they have masked rampant steroid use and playing favorites with certain guys that get tested, at least Hunt knows the deal with how Japanese promoters treat the issue and that they will be upfront with him about it.  Which is the complete opposite to the dishonesty being displayed by UFC brass on how they handle the problem.

@fishrat

If RIZIN does another Heavyweight Grand Prix soon and Mark Hunt is one of the people in it, I will be so hyped.  And if RIZIN somehow get Cro Cop, Fedor, or other ex Pride FC fighters to be in it, I will lose my ******* ****.

He will be missed after he retires.
