5 times UFC rematches didn't live up to the hype

Woodley and Thompson had a thrilling encounter at MSG

#2 Mark Hunt vs Antonio Silva II

Hunt knocked out Silva in their second bout

Mark Hunt and Antonio Silva are two of the most popular heavyweights in MMA and a major reason for this is their incredible encounter at a UFC Fight Night event in 2013.

A landmark event in Australia saw New Zealander, Hunt, and Brazilian, Silva, fight to an incredible majority draw after 5 rounds of brutal back and forth action. It was obvious that Hunt and Big Foot would have to meet again soon to bring this storied encounter to an end.

Said rematch took place at UFC 193 and after all the hype and the build up, the finish was eventually a mammoth disappointment as Hunt finished off Silva in Round 1 to pick up the win.
