He is very fast on the ground for his size. But Hunt is a very tough guy, with super heavy hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a dangerous fight for both, but I see more danger for Lesnar. Hunt is not just a skilled fighter; he knows how to knock people out. He\u2019s got that timing. So when you fight a guy like him you have to be very careful because you can get knocked out at any minute.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MMA world was taken by surprise during the UFC 199 broadcast when it was revealed that former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar would be returning to the Octagon for a fight at UFC 200.
