Unfortunately for Hunt fans, his injured leg is keeping him from resuming his duties inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n<p>The former K1 champion could be headed back to the hospital next week to continue treatment for the giant, gaping hole in his leg, caused by an infected hematoma. Hunt had received a skin graft treatment a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately it did not survive. Now, Hunt is scheduled to see a plastic surgeon early next week to try to get his leg patched up and back in working order.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what the heavyweight slugger had to say via his official Facebook page:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Well troops jus wanted u guys to know the skin graph didnt survive,and i think i will be back in hospital next week,its a bummer really cause the hill song confrence is starting next tuesday i hope i dont have to go hospital,but we will see i see plastic surgeon tuesday.didnt realise how bad this is man.anyways troops will keep u guys informed roger roger over and out lol.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><\/em>The &#8220;Super Samoan&#8221; had his UFC\u00a0title aspirations ended\u00a0by Junior dos Santos at last month&#8217;s UFC 160 event in Las Vegas.
