News has recently emerged that UFC heavyweight fighters Mark Hunt and Stefan Struve will face each other at UFC 146 which is set to take place on May 26th 2012 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas. This event will feature 5 heavyweight bouts on the main card making UFC history. In the main event of the night we will see Alistair Overeem take on the heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos for the title. I have a feeling we are set to see some monstrous battles.

Mark Hunt has an MMA record of 8-7 and enters this fight coming off a big victory over Cheick Kongo at UFC 144 in Japan. Hunt won that fight with a first round TKO securing himself a 3 fight winning streak withing the organisation. Another big win against Stefan Struve would definitely move Mark into the top half of the division making him a major player on the path towards heavyweight gold.

Stefan Struve enters this fight with an MMA record of 23-5 having most recently won his last two fights in a row. One of those fights was against Pat Barry at a UFC Live event held in October 2011, Stefan won that fight via submission and most recently defeated Dave Herman via TKO at the UFC on Fuel TV 1 event which was held in February of this year. Struve will now look to press forward and secure an important victory against Mark Hunt at UFC 146.
