UFC heavyweight Aleksei Oleinik wants Mark Hunt, but super-troll Hunt wants Fabricio Werdum


Nearly a month after his big win over Travis Browne at UFC 213, Aleksei Oleinik knows the challenge he wants next. Problem is, it seems to be one-way traffic for him.

Oleinik (52-10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) got into a heavyweight slugfest with Browne (18-7-1 MMA, 9-7-1 UFC) to close out the UFC 213 prelims in July and finished him with a second-round rear-naked choke. He thinks that win should get him a fight with Mark Hunt.

Hunt (13-11-1 MMA, 8-5-1 UFC) is coming off a fourth-round TKO of Derrick Lewis (18-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 110 main event in June. But Hunt isn’t interested in Oleinik. Instead, he wants former champ Fabricio Werdum (21-7-1 MMA, 9-4 UFC).

When Oleinik called Hunt out on social media, Hunt responded on Facebook … and rather brilliantly trolled Oleinik’s Instagram handle by spelling it “Alexeyholeydik.” In the comments, after Oleinik replied, Hunt said he’d prefer to wait to fight him till he’s in the UFC’s top five.

So which fight would you rather see? Hunt vs. Oleinik? Or Hunt vs. Werdum? Weigh in on it in the poll below.
