Review: 2013-12-07, there is a good news and a bad news…we start with the good one: the second part of Silva vs Hunt was simply amazing, one of toughest battle ever, everything you could want from a candidate for Fight of the Year! But now the bad news: we usually rate the complete fight and the first part was not so exciting with both fighters throwing just a few shots and in such cases we can’t give more than four stars; Antonio Silva and Mark Hunt were awarded “UFC Fight of the Night” honors. Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva (18-5-0, 89% finishing rate) entered as the No.4 heavyweight in the world while Mark Hunt (9-8-0, 67% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won by submission) entered as the No.9 (currently the #1 in this weight division is Cain Velasquez). ‘Bigfoot’ Silva vs Hunt is the main event of UFC Fight Night 33; they also faced each other a second time on November 15, 2015 (=Mark Hunt vs Antonio Silva 2).
