Mark Hunt & Alexey Oleynik Go To Battle On Social Media

Mark Hunt is known as one of the greatest strikers in the heavyweight division, while Alexey Oleynik is one of the best prospects in the entire division.

The two may not be meeting in the Octagon anytime soon, but the two have now clashed across the social media landscape.

Oleynik made the first strike on Instagram when he claimed that Hunt had turned down a fight with him:

 

Я две недели ждал подтверждение этого боя, но сегодня мне сказали что Марк не согласился на бой со мной … I waited for two weeks to confirm this fight, but today I was told that Mark did not agree to fight me … #мма #бои #спорт #markhunt #oleynik #oleynikchoke #mma #ufc

Hunt would respond through Facebook, claiming he would rather fight former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum:

Then Oleynik would respond to Hunt’s comments on Hunt’s own Facebook page:

Neither fighter is booked right now, but Hunt last competed and defeated Derrick Lewis in the main event of UFC Fight Night 110. While Oleynik last competed at UFC 213, where he submitted Travis Browne in the second round.
