While everyone is getting ready for UFC 200 this Saturday as Brock Lesnar returns to the octagon, there is another former WWE turned UFC fighter who is getting attention.

With the announcement coming just ahead of WWE’s next PPV “Battleground”, it’s obvious there aren’t too many definitive favorites for Lesnar’s big SummerSlam antagonist. Punch him in the face, punch him in the face, punch him in the face and then punch him.In.The.Face a few more times.
It will be interesting to see Lesnar’s freakish athletic abilities, even at the age of 38, and whether he can pick up from where he left off when he was a healthy UFC Heavyweight Champion. That’s basically what I hope is going to happen.
Although Lesnar vs. Ambrose at WrestleMania was awkwardly short and did not meet the expectations of the WWE Universe, things could be very different with the WWE title now involved. Suddenly, you have to cancel a match you’ve already announced – a dilemma that could have been avoided by just waiting until after Brock’s big fight with Hunt to announce the Summerslam match.
Yet, you might be surprised by Overeem’s take when it comes to the Lesnar-Hunt showdown. How that happens, I have no idea.
“I heard about it the same time as everybody else did, pretty much”, Hunt said.
However, Lesnar, who wore size-4XL gloves during his first UFC run (which ended in 2011), seemed less than comfortable with same size this time around.
“I’m a 37-year-old man, and some days I feel like I’m 80, just with all the things I’ve experienced, all the things I’ve done”.
More than his championship success and the “What If” questions that surround his career, that is Brock Lesnar’s legacy. “In the end, I think everyone should be treated fairly”. He recently said he would want to see someone from ECW to be part of the WWE 2K17 virtual roster.
Meanwhile, 2K Sports chose Brock Lesnar as the game’s main cover star for the WWE 2K17 video game slated for October 11 release this year. “I mean, he’s probably being tested now, but I think everyone should have the same playing field”.

“That depends on him, it depends on what kind of fight he brings”, said Hunt.
