UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Tybura (also known as UFC Fight Night 121) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship held on 19 November 2017 at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
The event will mark the promotion's fifth visit to Sydney, and first since UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Bisping in November 2014.
A heavyweight bout between the 2001 K-1 World Grand Prix winner and former interim title contender Mark Hunt against Marcin Tybura is expected to serve as the event's headliner.
The Ultimate Fighter: Redemption welterweight winner Jesse Taylor was expected to face Belal Muhammad at the event. However on September 13, it was announced that Taylor was pulled from the card after being notified by USADA of a potential doping violation. He was flagged after an out-of-competition drug test conducted August 22. Promotional officials have not determined whether Muhammed would remain on the card against a replacement opponent, or rescheduled for another event.
Jeremy Kennedy was expected to face Alex Volkanovski at the event. However, Kennedy pulled out of the fight on October 5 citing a back injury. Volkanovski is expected to remain on the card against a replacement.
