Det färdigställdes nyligen att Mark Hunt kommer välkomna Brock Lesnar tillbaka in i oktogonen, då de möts under UFC 200 den 9 juli i Las Vegas. I en intervju via ”MMAJunkie” pratade Hunt om det kommande tungviktsmötet, och enligt honom borde Lesnar hållit sig pensionerad från MMA:
I thought he was retired. I thought he was sick – but yeah, apparently not. I thought it was a great idea. It was great news about Brock coming back, but he probably should have stayed in retirement.
This isn’t pro wrestling. This is real fighting. If you don’t come prepared, you’re going to get hurt. It doesn’t do anything for my ranking, and I’m not going to make a big deal after the fight about a title shot because Brock hasn’t been in the octagon for like 10,000 years or whatever. I thought he was retired. But he came back to the UFC, and I’ve got my party hat on.
I think Brock is a real competitor. … I have a lot of respect for him. He got the world title in what, three fights? That’s amazing. But this isn’t pro wrestling; this is real fighting. I was born in the trenches. My foundation is super strong, especially with all the wars I’ve been in. This is another one that’s probably not going to last very long.
I’m knocking Brock Lesnar’s lips off at UFC 200.
Sist vi såg Mark fightas var under ”UFC: Fight Night 85”, där han tog sig an och slog ut Frank Mir i första ronden.
