Mark Hunt may be in a little bit of trouble when it comes to making weight for his main event bout with Roy Nelson, but he’s got a clear goal set when it comes to his fighting career.
The aging heavyweight seems very aware of his place in the sport and the amount of time he has left to compete at a high level. But, he has set the goal of getting one crack at UFC goal, as mentioned at MMA Fighting:
“It’s good for me to be doing what I’m doing at my age,” he said. “I love doing what I’m doing. But when I’m finished, I’m not going to come back. I won’t need the money. The only reason I’m still fighting is because I believe I’m still the best fighter in the world. I want to beat Roy on Saturday night, and then I want to fight a top-five guy. Then I want to challenge for the title once, whoever that may be against. That’s all I’m interested in. I want one chance for that title shot.”
We’ll have continuing coverage of UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs Nelson all weekend long.
