Mark Hunt and Aleksei Oleinik are set to square off in a bout which showcases that Mixed Martial Arts in not a sport only for the young.

Hunt had said that he would let his contract lapse after two more fights, due to a disappointing run in UFC. However, Dana White may have different plans, as he recently said that he was prepared to offer Oleinik a contract after the Moscow fight depending on the performance he delivers.

Hunt's form is a question, and he also outweighs Oleinik massively, as revealed by the weigh-in.

However, Oleinik is not a pushover. While he has lost two of his seven fights in the UFC, there is no reason that he cannot win against Hunt. He has immense experience under his belt, with a record of 56-11-1. His last win against Albini leant him credence coming into this bout. He will also be fighting out of his own country, with UFC Fight Night 136 being held in Moscow.

With that being said, the fight is anything but a foregone concusion. Tune into UFC Fight Night 136 tomorrow to see what happens when these two behemoths meet.
