Mark Hunt will come into UFC 200 on the back of two first round knockouts, over Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and former UFC champion Frank Mir.
Having been asked to take several fights on short notice, Hunt didn’t hesitate to take the fight short notice.
“When I was asked a few weeks ago to stay ready for July, I was very pumped man. I had no idea it would be Brock, but like everything it doesn’t matter who I fight they are going to get it good and proper when I step inside the cage.” Hunt said.
“I’m just going to prepare as best as I can. My mind is built for this sh*t, throw me into the maelstrom of battle and 9 out of 10 times I walk away”.
The former K-1 champion is best known for his punching power, and doesn’t plan on changing his fighting style for the NCAA Division 1 wrestler.
I deal with a wrestler like I deal with every other fighter,” he said. “I punch them in the mouth”.
Back in 2001, Lesnar was arrested on suspicion of possessing large amounts of anabolic steroids – something Hunt has publicly frowned upon. Hunt warned officials that they better be testing Lesnar, but either way, he plans to knock him out.
“I already said they better be testing him, but in the end it doesn’t even matter. It’s time for ‘punch face’, a game I have been playing for many years” he said.
Asked for a prediction for the fight, Hunt responded in typical Hunt fashion.
“I’ll knock his face off. I knock his mouth off and then his lips fly off.” he said.
