Derrick Lewis vs. Mark Hunt targeted to headline UFC Fight Night 110 in Auckland

A clash between two of the UFC’s hardest hitting heavyweights is in the works.

New Zealand’s own Mark Hunt is being slated to headline a UFC fight night against Derrick Lewis on June 11. UFC Fight Night 110 takes place in Auckland, New Zealand at the Vector Arena.

MMA Junkie was the first to report the bout, and MMA Fighting confirmed through sources on Monday that the fight is being made.

Hunt (12-11-1-1), who is coming off of a third-round TKO loss against Alistair Overeem at UFC 209 earlier this month, will have to wait until April 19 for medical clearance due to a leg injury he endured during the fight.
