Mark Hunt looked fine for the majority of his fight with Russian submission wizard Alexey Oleinik. But, once Oleinik got on top (or rather on back), it only took a couple of seconds to end the Super Samoan’s night.
The first round of the UFC Moscow main event was spent mostly on the feet. From the outset Oleinik looked to stalk Hunt, which seemed an odd choice given Hunt’s KO bona fides. It only took three leg kicks from the PRIDE and K-1 vet to have Oleinik limping and second guessing his stand-up strategy.
The Russian fighter looked rudderless with his damaged left leg, but he kept winging punches.
