Mark Hunt's next UFC appearance is set to be in Brisbane against former heavyweight champion Frank Mir.
Fresh off a first-round TKO win over Antonio Silva (19-8, 1 NC) at UFC 193 in Melbourne in November, Hunt is expected to be the headline act for UFC Fight Night 84 in Brisbane on March 20.
Mir, a submission specialist with an 18-10 career record, won two straight last year before dropping a unanimous decision to Andrei Arlovski (25-11, 1 NC) at UFC 191 in September.
With most of the heavyweight division booked in fights during the coming months, a bout between Mir and Hunt (11-10-1) makes sense as both men look to stay relevant in the title picture.
UFC officials haven't made a formal announcement about the fight but Fox Sports in Australia reported the bout had been verbally agreed to and a handful of overseas MMA outlets have also said it was in the works.
