    Are you happy with this?

    Personally I am, I just don't see the point of feeding Mark Hunt to him, bad stylistic match up for Hunt

    Lesnar vs Jon Bones Jones is the biggest and best MMA fight out there without McGregor in it.

    The one edge Lesnar had over the other HWs was his insane athletism. Now that is severly diminsihed if not completely gone. Hunt via brutal walk away KO.

    I'm picking Hunt, Brock don't like getting hit in the face, but yeah the card feels a lot bigger and I hope he can keep appearing cuz the HW division is complete 💩💩

    Lesnar will go straight for the take down and GNP...... The only hope is if Hunt can survive and land cleanly before it happens

    :deal

    You can't buy a chin and Lesnar's stand up is hopeless.

    Lesnar has good chin actually, it's just that he doesn't like to get hit and is scared but his chin has proven to be solid. He wasn't knocked out by Cain, Overeem and Carwin who hit him with good shots. Mark Hunt has good power but I can see Lesnar surviving, going into zombie mode and getting that takedown.

    The only way Hunt wins this is by either stuffing the takedown or surviving the ground and pound and let Brock punch himself out then start the next round on the feet. But let's not forget that Brock has some vicious ground and pound and it's definitely not a good position to be in. I can also see an early stoppage in this case, the UFC will definitely protect their big draw. If Brock wins they can cash out on him and give him a title shot or make him fight some big name. Hunt is already established and popular win or lose it doesn't matter.

    Personally I don't like this match up at all, I'd rather see Lesnar taking some easier fight first and while Hunt should have a Werdum rematch and the winner gets the title shot.

    :yep

    Any fighter that reels across the ring and turns their back does not have a good chin nor the confidence to back themselves should they get in trouble.


    If Lesnar tries to box he will be brutally KO'd.

    Lesnar said he was training stand up. Maybe his boxing has improved and Mark Hunt will get Willie Pep'd by him

    Hopefully it's a fun fight just for UFC 200. It would be incredibly cruel of the UFC to just use his name to let him get beat up a few times. Say what you want about Brock but he had guts to step up every single time. He left 5 years ago and in his 8 fights he fought 3 fighters that are still relevant in the HW picture!

    Because their cash-cows have taken a beating or are retired, Brock is the only other name out there that can generate enough interest for an event of this size. He'll carry the card, numbers wise, on his own.

    It was all a gimmick pal, surely you could've seen that. A PBF v Pac, Golovkin, Canelo fights would create much more money than a fantasy match up with a pub level fighter

    Lesnar has faced criticism in the past that his take on striking practice is to do it on his own terms and arrangements which has been more about Lesnar being comfortable rather than actually being challenged.
