Ex-heavyweight champ Frank Mir’s plan to get Mark Hunt to the mat early and lock in a submission never got past the introductory stage.
Hunt (12-10-1 MMA, 7-4-1 UFC) stopped Mir (18-11 MMA, 16-11 UFC) before he could get close, delivering another walk-off knockout with a thudding right hand in the first round.

The fight was called off at the 3:01 mark of the opening frame, just after Hunt landed his signature strike and simply walked away as Mir made it clear he wasn’t getting up any time soon.
