On the other end, Hunt has been somehow erratic. After enjoying a four-fight winning streak, Hunt fell to reigning champion Fabricio Werdum and then to Stipe Miocic. But is entering UFC Fight Night 84 on a high note, since he will be entering the fight off a win over Silva.
The fight is important for both fighters, particularly for Mir, whose career has been rocky. Hunt on the other hand is out to prove to the UFC that he belongs in the circle despite almost being left out when the company acquired Pride in 2012.
