In a colossal weekend for mixed martial arts fans, no event is bigger than the UFC 180 pay-per-view going down in Mexico City this evening.
In the main event, the interim Heavyweight title is on the line as Mark “The Super Samoan” Hunt looks to make history by defeating the No. 1 contender, Fabricio “Vai Cavalo” Werdum.
Hunt took tonight’s title fight on just three weeks’ notice once current champion Cain Velasquez pulled out of the fight due to a knee injury. After nearly a month of cutting weight in order to make the 265 pound limit, it will be interesting to see how long Hunt’s gas tank runs, and whether or not Werdum will capitalize on his drained opponent.
