Mark Hunt (10-10-1 MMA) took a brutal beating from Stipe Miocic in the headlining bout of this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 65 event in Adelaide, Australia.<\/p>\n

Miocic landed a UFC record 361 total strikes on “The Super Samoan,” before the referee finally put a halt to the fight with two minutes remaining in the fifth-round.<\/p>\n

Following Saturday’s event, many fight fans were left wondering if that was the last time they would see Hunt throw down inside the octagon. <\/p>\n

Well, just days after the fight, Hunt has already declared that he will return to the UFC, as he told 3 News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“It was a hard night in the office, but I took the beating like a man. I got caught fighting with my energy levels down and you can’t make this mistake at the top level.<\/p>\n

There is nothing wrong with me, I just look bad. The UFC looks after you really well, checking you up, but I’m good. It’s not an easy way to make a living, it was a hard night at the office, but I accept my outcome as a fighter.<\/p>\n

I got beat down by Stipe, and it will take a couple of weeks before the bruising goes down and I’ll be back to normal again. I’ll be back to training in about three weeks.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The former K1 Champion, Mark Hunt, is now 41-years-old and likely very close to the end of his memorable career. Who would you like to see “The Super Samoan” face next?<\/p>\n
