By Evan Stoumbelis

This past weekend fans were fortunate enough to see Hunt vs. Bigfoot as the headline of the UFC Brisbane card. Mark “Super Samoan” Hunt and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva fought a great 5 round battle to a decision which ended in a draw. Also on the card we saw PRIDE FC legend Mauricio Shogun Rua return to his form with a first round KO win over James Te Huna. And last but not least Ryan Bader defeated Anthony Perosh via decision to bounce back from his first round KO loss to Glover Teixeira
