Mark Hunt lost decisively at UFC Fight Night: Moscow

In a stunning result, the legendary heavy hitter, Mark Hunt was very quickly defeated via submission by the intimidating Russian, Oleksiy Oliynk in just four minutes of their main event clash at UFC Fight Night: Moscow.

Hunt, who had caused a stir prior to the fight by his outspoken comments on steroid use in MMA and the recent two-year ban for former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Fabricio Werdum started the fight well with some impressive leg kicks making a right mess of his opponent's shins.

However, Oliynk is a resilient fighter and he impressively took Hunt down, took his back and employed a rear naked choke for the win.

Post-match, it was brought to Oliynk's attention that he had previously said choking Hunt out was not a viable option for him as he was unable to find the big Kiwi's neck. However, the Russian managed to do so and yielded the quick tap out.

Oliynk moves on in the Heavyweight division while Hunt's future looks unclear.
