Following his UFC 209 loss to Alistair Overeem on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Mark Hunt revealed that he suffered a broken tibia.

Hunt made the news public in the following Instagram post:

The 42-year-old New Zealand native lost by knockout in the third round after taking a knee to the face.

Saturday marked Hunt's first bout since he locked horns with Brock Lesnar at UFC 200. Hunt was originally ruled the loser of that fight, but it was changed to a no-contest after Lesnar tested positive for clomiphene and hydroxy-clomiphene.

Hunt now boasts a 12-11-1 record and has won just two of his past six outings.
