10 Heaviest Hitters In The UFC Heavyweight Division Today
2. Mark Hunt
The Super-Samoan may be much closer to the end of his career than the start, but power fades last, and Hunt has always had that in spades.
Mark Hunt has long been one of the most feared power punchers in all of mixed martial arts. In the UFC, he became the first man to finish the granite-chinned Roy Nelson. He holds a walk-off KO over Frank Mir as well, and has also stopped Derrick Lewis, Bigfoot Silva, Stefan Struve, Cheick Kongo, and others.
The bottom line is that Mark Hunt hits like a Mac Truck. And he knows it. It's why, at the age of forty-four, he continues to compete against the very best in the UFC. That's right: Mark Hunt is essentially someone's middle aged dad with dynamite in his fists. While you simply watch guys fight (or write about it). He doesn't have the prettiest record on the list, barely over .500 - but fans love him. Because he puts people to sleep, or goes down trying.
The funny thing is, each and every one of Mark Hunt's opponents knows exactly what he's going to do. And yet they seem somehow helpless to avoid it. The right hand is thrown, and, often enough, lands.
It only takes one.
