More than eight years after their first meeting, UFC heavyweights Mark Hunt and Josh Barnett appear ready for a rematch. Following his knockout win over Roy Nelson this past weekend in UFC Fight Night 52’s headliner, Hunt (10-8-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) and former foe Barnett (33-7 MMA, 5-2 UFC) took to social media to discuss the potential bout. Hunt, who’s ranked No. 7 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings , suffered a submission loss to No. 5 Barnett at PRIDE Critical Countdown Absolute in July 2006. Barnett said he knows why Hunt wants the rematch and that he respects him because of it (via Twitter ): I get why @markhunt1974 would want to rematch me
