Kiwi UFC star Mark Hunt allowing no distractions as he prepares for his return to Auckland

It's been 16-years since Kiwi UFC star Mark Hunt fought in Auckland, so he's determined to making a lasting impression in what could be his final appearance at home this weekend.

Hunt's up against American slugger Derrick Lewis at the UFC Fight Night on Sunday, and he's leaving no stone unturned in his preparations for the fight.

The 'Super Samoan' has been embroiled in a legal battle against his employers who he accuses of allowing certain fighters privileges with performance-enhancing drugs.

However, the South Aucklander is adamant he won’t be letting those dramas affect his performance in what is shaping as a must-win fight.
