We’ve got nothing but love for Mark Hunt in the SportsJOE offices.
He might have a mightily indifferent record of 10-10-1 but career statistics can’t express the physical toughness of the man.
The New Zealander was beaten from pillar to post by Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC Adelaide last night but it looked like he was going to tough it out for the decision thanks to a chin that we’re sure must be closer to concrete than bone.
Now it needs to be stopped

Miocic did get the stoppage when the referee had seen enough and waved the contest off with just two minutes remaining in the fight. https://youtu.be/glclBfXEJVA Both fighters took to social media after the bout, with Mark Hunt showing how bad a pulverising his face had taken. While Miocic wanted everyone to know that he enjoyed his Saturday evening immensely.
That was fun.
