Mark Hunt set to headline UFC Fight Night 121 against Marcin Tybura in Sydney

The unflappable Mark Hunt will be back in action as he headlines UFC Fight Night 121 on Nov. 18 live on FOX Sports 1 from inside Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, against rising heavyweight contender Marcin Tybura, per a recent report by Polish website Lowking.pl. The main event billing was later confirmed by MMA Junkie.

Hunt, 43, is fresh off a knockout victory over Derrick Lewis back at UFC Fight Night 110 this past June. The hard-hitting veteran has once again surfaced in ongoing heavyweight title discussions and will move even closer to contention entering 2018 if he’s able to knock off a streaking youngster like Tybura.

Tybura, 31, is coming off a unanimous decision victory over former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski back at UFC Fight Night 111. The Polish heavyweight has won three-straight fights since losing his promotional debut to Timothy Johnson back in 2016.

The only other bout announced for this event at this time is a heavyweight clash between 24-year-old UFC newcomer Tai Tuivasa and 35-year-old journeyman Rashad Coulter.
