Despite whatever may be said about their individual capability, there is one thing that cannot be overlooked when looking at the upcoming UFC Fight Night in Moscow.

Oleinik will have one huge advantage over Hunt, and that will be he is fighting in front of a crowd that supports him. While Hunt is a veteran who will likely not allow the crowd to affect him, it might be just the boost that Oleinik needed to fight and win in the main event of possibly the biggest fight since coming to the UFC.

While it might not be on a UFC pay-per-view, Fight Night is no longer just an event that does not matter, seeing as how UFC is coming to Russia for the first time.

Having represented Russia before on the International stage, Oleinik is something of a favourite among the home fans in Moscow, which might provide him with just the boost that he needs to pick up the win.
