Filed under: Featured , News , UFC UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt said financial concerns forced him to take a rematch with Alistair Overeem at UFC 209. After he failed to win his release from contract in the wake of a UFC 200 drug scandal, Hunt said he had no other choice but to fight. “I’m not young, I’m 42 years old,” Hunt told Stuff.co.nz , a New Zealand-based news website. “In six months I’ve already missed out on a couple of fights; I’ve already missed out on a couple million dollars.” UFC 209 takes place March 4 at T-Mobile Arena, with Overeem vs. Hunt 2 serving on the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass
