Hunt, Silva fight to majority draw on UFC card

Heavyweights Mark Hunt and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva fought to a majority draw after five rounds Friday in the main event of an Ultimate Fighting Championship card in Brisbane, Australia.

Hunt and Silva each had chances to finish a violent, back-and-forth affair that left both fighters exhausted and oozing blood after 25 highly entertaining minutes.

Former light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua folded up James Te-Huna with a short left hook about a minute into their fight to snap a two-fight losing streak. Reno native Ryan Bader dominated Anthony Perosh on his way to a unanimous decision, landing 156 shots in 15 minutes to 11 for Perosh in another light heavyweight bout.

In other UFC news, a light heavyweight bout between Daniel Cormier and former champion Rashad Evans was announced as the main event for UFC 170 at Mandalay Bay on Feb. 22.
