The Ultimate Fighting Championship is starting to plot a purposeful card for the company's return to New Zealand.
On Monday, MMAJunkie.com was first to report that the UFC was in talks with heavyweights Mark Hunt and Derrick Lewis to actualize a heavyweight bout that would headline the promotion's second card from Auckland's Vector Arena on June 11. Shortly after, FloCombat reported that the UFC was also working on a middleweight contest between Olympic judoka Daniel Kelly and Derek Brunson.
The UFC has not commented on either bout, both of which are in the early negotiation process.
