Sonny Bill Williams knocked out by UFC legend Mark Hunt in final fight

Sonny Bill Williams has suffered a huge upset defeat being stopped by UFC legend Mark Hunt in the 48-year-old's final fighting bow.

Hunt made his return to the ring for the first time in almost two years this weekend when he touched gloves with rugby legend Williams in Sydney, Australia looking to cause a huge upset. And that is exactly what he did, with Hunt flooring his opponent with a huge right hand in the fourth round of their clash, which saw his opponent narrowly beat the 10 count.

However, the UFC legend was not paid by the hour and went on the hunt to bring a stop to the contest, which he did in explosive fashion with another huge right hand rocking Williams before the referee halted the clash. Hunt whipped the Sydney crowd into a chaotic frenzy with the seismic upset, which will be his final ever outing, as he plans to retire from combat sports.
