The UFC is quietly making its return this Sunday (Saturday in America) at UFC Fight Night 85. The event isn’t garnering much hoopla, unless you’re from the Land Down Under, but I know exactly how to make the fights more fun for all.
A heavyweight scrap between former champion Frank Mir (pictured) and Mark Hunt headlines the gig. Hunt is a -175 odds-on favorite to send Mir on a two-fight losing skid. Mir, meanwhile, checks in closely behind as a +145 underdog.
Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Australia serves as host. Fox Sports 1 broadcasts the main card live in America starting at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
