The UFC is targeting to book Antonio Silva vs. Mark Hunt 2 for UFC 193 on Nov. 14, according to Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting.com

This heavyweight bout would be featured on the main card along with the main event of Carlos Condit vs. Robbie Lawler for the UFC welterweight title.

The UFC have yet to make this bout official, but it’s expected to be in the near future.

Silva and Hunt once fought before as they had a classic, bloody, rock em, sock em war back at in Dec. 2013 in a fight many consider not only the greatest heavyweight fight in UFC history. In the end, the fight was a draw and following the event, Silva failed his post-fight drug test due to elevated levels of testosterone.
