WOW! Former UFC HW Mark Hunt Takes On ‘Bam Bam’ Tai Tuivasa in a Sparring Session

Former UFC heavyweight, Mark Hunt, and current star Tai Tuivasa engaged in a heavy sparring session recently. ‘Bam Bam’ posted a clip of the session on his Instagram. ‘The Super Samoan’ can be seen clipping the Aussie fighter during the session.

Both Hunt and Tuivasa are two of the most vicious knockout artists in the world of MMA. Given they are heavyweights, the power both men carry is beyond imagination. Fans must have loved to see them throw down in a real fight. However, they gave everyone a teaser with their recent sparring.

Hunt is currently 47-years-old. He hasn’t competed since his 2018 loss to Justin Willis. Interestingly, that card was headline by Tuivasa as he fought former UFC heavyweight champion, Junior Dos Santos, in the main event.
