Super Samoan

The 'Super Samoan' was the eighth-rated heavyweight fighter when the world's premier mixed martial arts organisation released their latest rankings on Tuesday (NZ time).

Hunt, 41, traded places with American Josh Barnett in the only change within the top 10 of the division in the media-generated rankings.

The 41-year-old Kiwi of Samoan descent added another highlight reel to his distinguished fighting career as he stopped Mir, a two-time former heavyweight champion, with a brutal right hand just three minutes into the first round.

Hunt's career seemed in jeopardy last May following a fifth-round stoppage to Stipe Miocic - his second-straight defeat. 

ABC repots the event is also offering local fighters a chance to show their skills on the world stage.

At the faceoff, Hunt and Mir accidently dressed the same, and despite a few laughs both men had their game face on.

Their heavyweight mixed martial arts fight could finish in brutal fashion.

With Hunt preparing to headline UFC Brisbane against Frank Mir this Sunday, White has opened up to Round 6 about that conversation, six years ago, when he tried to punt the hulking Sydney heavyweight.

"Super Samoan", known for his legendary fights in K-1 and the UFC, vows to leave it all inside the Octagon against Frank Muir in Brisbane and says he's not afraid of death.

Domestic violence is a popular case in Police reports in Samoa, and has been put under the microscope even more with the United Nations push in the region to eradicate it from homes in the Pacific.

The Super Samoan dropped Bigfoot with a thunderous punch to the head and swarmed him with a couple of shots on the ground after as he collected a first-round TKO victory at UFC 193 in Melbourne today.
