Premier Mixed Martial Arts Organisation UFC today confirmed that MMA legend Mark “The Super Samoan” Hunt will fight Russia’s own Aleksei “The Boa Constrictor” Oleinik in a five-round main event battle in Moscow on Saturday, September 15. Initially, Fabricio Werdum was supposed to fight Oleinik, but the former UFC heavyweight champion was notified of a potential doping violation from USADA, which oversees the UFC’s drug testing program.

Mark Hunt has won only one of his last four fights, in his last fight, he was beaten by unanimous decision by rising UFC Heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes who is on a five-fight win streak.
