So this weekend we saw a heavyweight UFC fight between Mark ‘Super Samoan’ Hunt vs Frank Mir in Brisbane you can read the review of the fight below.


 

The fight starts off slowly and eventually we see Hunt land an early heavy leg kick on Mir trying to wear him down early. Shortly after this we see Hunt land a a good right and send Mir briefly down to the mat but he quickly recovers and gets back to the fight. Mir attempts a jab but this is easily slipped by Hunt, Mir attempts the same jab again and this time it lands on Hunt but does not cause any damage and the fight continues on at a slow pace.

Hunt then attempts to land a high kick to the head of Mir but the shot is blocked but we then see Hunt continue to move forward and land a combination of punches on Mir, the fight is looking very one sided at this point with Hunt getting all the success. Hunt follows this up by swinging two back to back wild right both of which missing the mark.

We get down to the last 2 minutes of the 1st round and Hunt lands an absolute beauty of a right hand just behind the ear of Mir sending him  crashing down on the mat, rather than storm Mir whilst he is on the floor Hunt simply walks off shaking his head knowing full well that the fight is over just as we see the ref signalling the end of the fight.

In the post fight press conference Hunt was asked why he just walked off after knocking Mir out? His reply was “His face was still…he wasn’t there, so I just left it. He wasn’t there. He was out, somewhere else.” after some laughter from the audience Hunt went into a bit more detail stating “Well, it’s true, He wasn’t there. He was blacked out.” after following up that he would like to get back to fighting the guys at the top of the heavyweight division.
