“Following a full battery of medical examinations at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, the UFC confirms that the heavyweight athlete Mark Hunt was cleared to return to competition,” said an official statement from Ultimate to the North American website MMA Fighting.

Hunt, who is coming off a brutal knockout defeat to alistair overeem, had said, in an interview with the Player's Tribune website, that he had problems that could be related to brain damage. After that, the heavyweight was removed by Ultimate himself from his duel against Macin Tybura, from UFC Sidney, and was replaced by Fabricio Werdum. The New Zealander intends to face the Brazilian on his return to the octagon, which should take place at UFC 221, in Perth, Australia.
