Nelson vs. Hunt Rumored for September Card in Japan

According to MMAFighting.com reporter, Ariel Helwani, the UFC is planning on putting a heavyweight clash together between Roy Nelson and Mark Hunt.  According to Helwani, the UFC is targeting a fight between the two heavy-handed sluggers on a Japanese card in September.  Both men are coming off of phenomenal performances in their most recent outings.  Roy Nelson is coming off of a first round finish of PRIDE legend, Minotauro Noguiera last month while Hunt had a five-round war with Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva that was originally scored as a majority draw, but was overturned to a no contest after Silva failed the post-fight drug test.

Both men have heavy hands and it would be possibly one of the biggest heavyweight fights in the history of the UFC.  Hopefully we see this fight come into fruition, but it is possible that it may not come to be as Roy Nelson is still recovering from an injured hand.  Be sure to stay posted to Tough Spar MMA for future updates on this possible fight.
