Heavyweight knockout king, Mark Hunt has confirmed via his Twitter and Facebook accounts that he will be back in action at UFC 209 on March 4th in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Super Samoan has not fought since his UFC 200 clash with Brock Lesnar which was ruled a no contest after it was discovered that Lesnar failed a drug test and has since been banned for 12 months. Hunt will take on fellow heavyweight, Alistair Overeem at UFC 209, with the main event still to be announced the UFC has made a sturdy start with this heavyweight clash. The two heavyweights are going to go at it for the second time after the pair previously met in 2008 on the main card of DREAM 5 Lightweight Grand Final with Overeem picking up the victory via first round submission.

With Hunt stepping back into the octagon it can only mean he has come to some sort of agreement with the UFC after previously saying he will not compete in the UFC again until changes are made and was willing to fight the UFC in court.

Is this a fight you are looking forward too? Who will pick up the victory when the two heavyweights clash? Let us know in the comments below.
