Kiwi MMA fighter Mark Hunt says a win over US fighter Derrick Lewis in Auckland would leave him content, but he's still chasing a dream and has no plans to retire. Hunt will make his first fighting appearance in New Zealand in 15 years, when he takes on Lewis in a five-round heavyweight main event at UFC Fight Night at Vector Arena on June 11. Hunt is still embroiled in a court battle with the UFC, taking legal action against his employer after his controversial no-contest with drug cheat Brock Lesnar in July 2016. They put me in a spot where I had to get an even playing ground and a fair fight, and that's all I'm trying to do. UFC vice-president David Shaw said Hunt's headline status at UFC Fight Night was a coup for all involved.
