Hunt for top fight a failure

VETERAN heavyweight Mark Hunt has been handed a world-ranked opponent for his final UFC bout, but he would have preferred it to be someone rated above not below him.

Ranked 10th, Sydneysider Hunt will fight American Justin Willis, who has won his first three UFC bouts and is ranked 15th, at Adelaide Entertainment Centre on December 2.

“Every time I ask, I get guys who are underneath me,” Hunt, 44, said.

Fellow Australian heavyweight Tai Tuivasa is also on the card.
