Just before his unanimous decision loss to Curtis Blaydes in the co-main event of UFC 221, Mark Hunt laid out a plan for his future . “After the three fights with the UFC, I’d like to fight globally three more times and then retire,” Hunt (13-12-1 MMA, 8-6-1 UFC) told MMAjunkie. “Hang it up.” Just to be clear, that’s the oldest fighter on the UFC roster – Hunt will be 44 next month (but still can hang with the young bucks in the club ) – looking six fights into the future and envisioning a glorious end outside the UFC. Even better, he doesn’t seem to think it’s such a big deal. When Hunt vows to “hang it up,” it’s with this air of resigned reluctance, the way your dad admits that one of these days he’s going to have to break down and get a new lawnmower.
