Brock Lesnar has done it all in the WWE. Now he is heading to the octagon for a fight at their biggest event ever… UFC 200.
You likely have heard the news about Brock Lesnar returning to the UFC for a special one off fight for their UFC 200 event. Brock appeared on ESPN Sportscenter on Monday morning to announce the news officially.
Here were the highlights:
- He will be facing Mark Hunt (who is a guy with heavy hands).
- He says the UFC told him they wanted this fight and he has never rejected an opponent so he took it.
- He said that he was the one who picked up the phone to make this happen.
- He said at the top of his career he wasn’t at the top of his game because of his illness.
- He says at the end of the day he is a prize fighter who wants to make the most money possible.
- he says there are a lot of 0’s behind his salary.
There you have it. Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt set for UFC 200 in a massive fight. If you are a UFC fan you would know that Mark Hunt has incredible knockout power and if Brock tries to stand and throw with him it could be a short night.
We also just reported on the WWE and UFC possibly working together for UFC 202 for the CM Punk debut. You can see here:

Let us know what you think of this fight announcement and if you will be tuning in to see him fight!
For the love of money, i guess ?
This is a coup for UFC. Great move. I don’t like MMA, but this is a huge draw and it benefits UFC and WWE. Everyone wins. Even if Brock takes a loss, he still comes out looking tough. (Side note: This man would be a serial killer like the bad guy in From Russia with Love without an outlet for his violence.)
