Mark Hunt will return to the Octagon against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 221.
The promotion confirmed the heavyweight pairing through The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday. UFC 221 takes place at Perth Arena in Perth, Australia on Feb. 10 and is headlined by a middleweight championship tilt between Robert Whittaker and Luke Rockhold.
After admitting memory loss and slurred speech in a column for Australia’s Players Voice, Hunt was indefinitely suspended by the UFC. However, after recently visiting with brain specialists in Las Vegas, “The Super Samoan” was cleared to return to the Octagon.
