Probably not a good idea to annoy Mark Hunt…

UFC and Pride FC heavyweight legend Mark Hunt was finally confirmed for a slot on UFC 200 this week, in a fight that is highly anticipated. After former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar featured in a promo video for the milestone pay-per-view during UFC 199, speculation raged as to who would be his return opponent. It wasn’t long before we found out though, and ‘The Super Samoan’ being such a fan pleaser makes this quite an amazing fight.

Lesnar had reigned as UFC champ with two title defenses between 2008-2010, but diverticulitis and a couple of nasty losses eventually marked the end of his career. Lesnar stepped away from fighting with a 5-3 record, but never fully closed the door on a return to the UFC until a couple years later.

Lesnar’s role in the UFC 100 super card helped shatter the all time pay-per-view buy record for the promotion. His return to the UFC octagon, although just a ‘one off’ opportunity according to the WWE’s recent statement, is exactly what the UFC 200 card needed. That said, he is facing a stone cold killer in Mark Hunt who essentially is the worst match up possible. We all know Brock doesn’t like getting hit, and that’s precisely what the one punch KO artist Hunt will aim to do.

Her was Lesnar’s statement on his UFC return, note how he makes a statement regarding getting the finish against Hunt on the ground:

“I couldn’t live with my decision. It was a hard decision for me to make. That decision has haunted me for the last 15 months, and I couldn’t live with it for the rest of my life. I didn’t want to regret it 20 years from now. I was on UFC 100, so why not be on UFC 200, the biggest stage of all. This was me sitting and having a coffee and thinking about whether it was the right decision. I told nobody, this thing haunted me for a long time.”

“I’m fighting Mark Hunt, he’s a real tough guy, a hard striker. I’m a wrestler, that’s what the UFC does, they put styles against styles to see who’s best. I can tell you if Mark Hunt goes to ground with me, it’s over, I’ll finish.“

Former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE all star Brock Lesnar is once again the talk of the town in mixed martial arts. It’s been 15 months since Lesnar officially retired from the UFC, where he saw success as champion after demolishing Randy Couture for the belt. Successfully defending against Frank Mir and Shane Carwin, the gigantic beast was tamed by Cain Velasquez to lose the belt, and later demolished by Alistair Overeem who sent Lesnar in to retirement.

He left the sport with only a 5-3 record, but his impact on MMA was undeniable. As the main event attraction for the monster UFC 100 pay-per-view card, Lesnar led the march to promotional history during his rivalry with Frank Mir. Smashing the former champ by TKO, the WWE cross over helped destroy the all time PPV buy record.

During this past Saturday’s (June 4, 2016) UFC 199 broadcast, Ariel Helwani leaked information about Lesnar’s return fight. The UFC 200 promo video that aired later in the evening confirmed that Brock would be coming back to the UFC, with an opponent yet to be determined.

Instantly lighting up the MMA forums in a frenzy reminiscent of his first UFC signing in 2008, the surprise announcement by the promotion was truly awesome. Whether you’re a fan or not, you have to admit that the addition of Brock Lesnar to UFC 200 is HUGE!

So who will Lesnar face? During an exclusive interview with ESPN Sportscenter today, the WWE legend and returning UFC star dished the goods, and it’s added so much more fuel to the fire…
