Saturday marked Hunt's first bout since he locked horns with Brock Lesnar at UFC 200. Hunt was originally ruled the loser of that fight, but it was changed to a no-contest after Lesnar tested positive for clomiphene and hydroxy-clomiphene.
Hunt now boasts a 12-11-1 record and has won just two of his past six outings.
