Mark Hunt has made a name for brutal knockouts, but has particularly been known for a few walk-off knockouts in his career. He added another one to the resume at UFC Fight Night 85 when he stopped former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir in the first round with a smashing right.
Mir opened the fight in orthodox position, an usual choice for a fighter who is traditionally southpaw. Mir attempted a shot early, but Hunt was able to easily stuff it. Hunt tried some bombs early, some of which glanced or partially landed, but nothing to hurt or adjust Mir's game plan.
