Mark Hunt is scheduled to face Justin Willis at UFC Adelaide this Saturday (01) in Australia. The clash is the last of his contract with Ultimate and the veteran believes that the agreement will not be renewed. Even so, 'Super Samoan' shouldn't hang up his gloves and wants to have at least five more fights before ending his career.

“It will be my last [fight under contract], so I'm happy with that. I'm pleased that the UFC allowed me to do this. It's great, so now I want to share the stage with Tai and Tyson again and all the Australian guys, which is great. I want to fight five more times at least, because I still have the fire inside me to do it, and go from there. Let’s see what happens,” Hunt said during the event’s Media Day in Australia.
The former heavyweight title challenger is going through a bad phase in Ultimate. In the last five fights, he has won only Derrick Lewis in June last year. However, Hunt blames rivals who were 'drugged' for the irregular cartel.
“Of course I feel there is more to do. Half the guys I lost are cheaters. There's a lot more to do, but it's none of my business. I didn't have the opportunities. After Derrick Lewis, I fought number 7, number 9, now number 13. F*** it, I’m not going to get another title shot, and things are what they are,” concluded Mark.
