Former UFC heavyweight, Mark Hunt, and current star Tai Tuivasa engaged in a heavy sparring session recently. ‘Bam Bam’ posted a clip of the session on his Instagram. ‘The Super Samoan’ can be seen clipping the Aussie fighter during the session.

Both Hunt and Tuivasa are two of the most vicious knockout artists in the world of MMA. Given they are heavyweights, the power both men carry is beyond imagination. Fans may have loved to see them throw down in a real fight, but unfortunately, it will not happen. However, they gave everyone a teaser with their recent sparring.
