"I know the gameplan; I've always said it's the same gameplan, which is to go and knock his face off and that's about it. It's the easiest gameplan anyone could have," Hunt told the Herald.
The Super Samoan did his training camp in the heat of Thailand - generally he prepares in Auckland - but the opportunity to work at the AKA camp proved too good to turn down where he trained with the recently-retired Soa Palelei.
"It's good for losing weight," Hunt said of the Thai weather.
The scale has often proved as dangerous of an opponent as the behemoths Hunt has met in the cage during the past few years.
A botched weight cut left him with little in the tank when he met American Stipe Miocic (13-2) at UFC Fight Night 65 in Adelaide in May where he suffered a fifth-round TKO loss.
"It wasn't a competition last time. It was just me getting beat up so that's not going to happen again," the Kiwi said.
He recently finished his training camp weighing around 124kg, leaving a small amount to drop to squeeze under the 120.6kg non-title limit for heavyweights. In the past, Hunt has often entered the week of a fight needing to shed 10-12kg.
At 41, Hunt is closer to the end of his career than the beginning but he still holds designs on earning a title shot.
Whether that is realistic remains to be seen but a dominant performance in front of what could be the biggest crowd at a UFC event would be the perfect showcase to remind people that the eight-ranked heavyweight in the promotion isn't finished.
UFC officials have suggested that 70,000 people could be in attendance at Etihad Stadium this weekend. The event will be headlined by women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (12-0) who will put her title on the line against Holly Holm (9-0).
The co-feature is a women's strawweight title fight between Polish destroyer Joanna Jedrzejczyk (10-0) and challenger Valerie Letourneau (8-3).
Kiwi-born middleweight Robert Whittaker (14-4) will meet the surging Uriah Hall (12-5) in a bout that could push the winner in to the top 10 of the divisional rankings.
Hunt is usually the big-ticket name attached to an event but an occasion of this magnitude will see him further down the main card. Big crowds are nothing new for Hunt after his days on the K-1 kickboxing circuit where crowds could top 65,000 in Japan in the early 2000s.
He also recently released a tell-all book called 'Born to Fight', which has earned positive reviews for its raw honesty about his rough childhood.
"You can help others with your story and that's the only reason why I did it," Hunt said.
