50 MMA Fights You Must Watch Before You Die
48. Mark Hunt Vs. Antonio Silva 1 - UFC Fight Night 33
It's rare to see two heavyweights have an entertaining slugfest that goes the full 25 minutes in MMA. Usually they get exhausted quickly and it turns into a sloppy mess. However, when former K-1 champion, Mark Hunt, and Brazilian behemoth, Antonio Silva, fought each other fans were treated to a proper battle of the big men.
Silva's best moments came during the first, second and fourth round of the fight. By utilising body and leg kicks, he was able to shut down most of Hunt's attacks and keep his opponent at distance. Despite Silva putting on one of the best performances of his career, the Super Samoan refused to give up.
By using his legendary heavy hands to knock Silva down and then hit him with massive punches from the mount, Hunt was able to turn Bigfoot into a bloody mess. Although he didn't land his signature walk off KO, he did land some absolutely devastating strikes throughout the fight.
Due to how competitive this bout was, the fight ended in a draw which was actually a fair result as neither man deserved to lose.
