Mark Hunt takes the fight game very seriously.
The heavyweight will return to action next month at UFC 200 vs. Brock Lesnar, welcoming the former UFC champion back into the cage.
But Hunt isn’t just going to stand there and smile with Lesnar.
He’s planning on greeting him with some heavy, heavy hands.
“I will send this pretender back so he can play house with the other part timers,” Hunt told his official website after news of the fight was made public. “This realm is for the real fighters, not these damn pretenders.
“I’ll knock his face off. (I’ll) knock his mouth off and then his lips fly off.”
Lesnar brings his wrestling background to the match, as he is a former Div. I NCAA champion. Hunt is known for his walk-off knockouts.
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
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.
Brock Lesnar continued talking trash to Frank Mir, who had submitted Lesnar in the wrestler’s UFC debut, after destroying him in the rematch at UFC 100…
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.“

Following the announcement that Brock Lesnar will be fighting Mark Hunt at the landmark UFC 200 event next month, interim UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and UFC 200 headliner Jon Jones might have been more excited about the news than anyone else.
“Bones” Jones, who will enjoy profit participation in the UFC 200 mega-event in July, as his deal calls for him to earn a percentage of the profits earned from the pay-per-view sales of the event past a certain point, noted that Lesnar joining the card will likely result in “millions” of dollars being added to his purse.
Jones posted the following on his official Twitter account after hearing about the Lesnar announcement.
At UFC 200, Jones will look to unify the UFC 205-pound titles against current champion Daniel Cormier, who he defeated in his last Octagon appearance, but became the new Light Heavyweight champion when Jones was stripped of the title.
UFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 is scheduled to go down live at the brand new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, July 9, 2016. Make sure to join us here at MMANews.com on 7/9 for the best UFC 200 live results coverage on the web!

On Monday, UFC President Dana White finally broke his silence regarding the fact that current WWE Superstar and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar will be returning to the Octagon.
As noted, Lesnar appeared on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Monday morning and announced that he will be fighting number eight ranked UFC heavyweight contender Mark Hunt at the landmark UFC 200 event at the brand new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, July 9, 2016.
Embedded above is a video interview with White, who spoke with celebrity-gossip website TMZ.com about the UFC’s former biggest drawing card returning to the Octagon at what they hope will be the biggest event in the history of the company next month.
“I think it doesn’t suck, that’s what I think,” White told TMZ Sports. “According to Brock right now, his training is going great, he feels like a million bucks, so we’ll see what happens. The thing is, being away from fighting for awhile is tough to do.”
