Mark Hunt: The Journey Continues | UFC ® - News

Of course Russell Crowe is Australian. Sure, he was born in Wellington and has some Maori ancestry, but it can all be overlooked once he reaches international success. Mark Hunt is a top MMA fighter born in Auckland of a Samoan background. One of his claim to fame was his shock split decision win over Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović in 2005. He is ranked top 10 Australian MMA fighters and was just awarded the title of “Australian International Fighter of 2014”. On top of an already strong pool of athletes native to the country, Australia has a constant stream of migrants and plenty of neighbours in athletic New Zealand and the Pacific islanders who are genetically pre-deposed to be giants of fighters.
