At 41 years young, Sydney-based
wrecking machine Mark Hunt tells
FIGHT! he is training smarter, fighting
harder, and better than ever.

unt doesn’t look like an elite
prizefighter. He’s five-foot-ten —
making him one of the shorter
fighters in the land of giants – he
has a chunky frame and sporadic tattoo art
covering large portions of his body.
The adopted Aussie’s 11–10–1 MMA
record doesn’t look like a resume fitting of a
championship-level contender, either.
And yet, the gargantuan fighter known
as ‘The Super Samoan’ is one of the best
heavyweights to never win a major MMA title
— something he plans to correct before he
hangs up his 91-by-
73 cm gloves.
The three-sport
combat fighter has broken
jaws and delivered over a
dozen knockouts during his
near-two-decade-long career, and
developed rabid fan following along
the way.
Most in his position would be happy
to settle in as a wild brawler for hire, taking
fun fights and cashing $50,000 bonuses on
the regular, but Hunt isn’t as easily satisfied.MOREFIGHTS!
