The Super Samoan is ready for war.
When it was announced that Brock Lesnar would be coming back to the UFC I must have been in the minute minority who happened to care less about the former Heavyweight champion’s return. That by no means is a dig at Brock Lesnar, far from it. But when Lesnar walked away from the sport after his devastating loss to Alistair Overeem it appeared that the former champ had nothing left in the tank. There’s a lot to wonder on why he’s making his return, but nonetheless, he’ll be making his return against a monster of a man. Over the years Mark Hunt has become a true mixed martial artist. With that said no one would mistake the kickboxer to be some kind of ground specialist submitting opponents left and right. But what he has improved upon is his wrestling defense and learning to transition from striking to wrestling seamlessly. If you would have matched up Mark Hunt against Brock Lesnar some years ago then in all likelihood most of the MMA world would probably concede that the “Super Samoan” would have had his hands full with the former Heavyweight champion. Now, well, let’s just say that it’s Lesnar who’s going to have a tall task ahead of him. While everyone waits in anticipation for Brock Lesnar’s return, they should also be checking in on Mark Hunt who looks to be in the greatest shape of his career for this match up. Take a look at the Instagram pic below.
Mark Hunt is a man who takes fighting seriously and from the looks of his physique he’s taken things up a notch for his bout at UFC 200. With July 9 right around the corner, it’s apparent that this Heavyweight contest could be pretty damn interesting to watch unfold. Are you excited for Brock Lesnar’s return?
