Mark Hunt will fight little known American Justin Willis in what will likely be his final UFC fight.
ESPN is reporting the 'Super Samoan' will look to stop the 31-year-old's unblemished UFC record, which stands at 3-0, at UFC Fight Night in Adelaide on December 2.

Willis made his octagon debut in July 2017, winning a decision over James Mulheron, which he followed up with a stoppage win over Allen Crowder and another decision win over fellow American Chase Sherman in April.
Hunt is currently on a skid, losing three of his last four fights, including a recent submission loss at the hands of Ukrainian grappler Oleksiy Olinyk.
The 44-year-old is widely expected to part ways with the company at the conclusion of his contract, which has one fight remaining.
Hunt had been at the centre of a two-year legal battle with his employers, which was the result of the Kiwi's UFC 200 fight with former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.
Hunt lost the fight via decision but when Lesnar's failed pre-fight drugs test came to light, the scrap was ruled a no contest.
Lesnar represented the seventh Hunt opponent to have been handed a suspension because of a banned drugs indiscretion.
Hunt believed his life was put at risk by the UFC and he began legal proceedings. The case remains open – with no apparent end in sight. Hunt indicated during the build-up to his last fight in Moscow that he is unlikely to re-sign with the company.
Mark Hunt has eight wins, a draw, seven losses and one no-contest in 17 UFC fights since 2010.
