Former UFC title challenger Mark Hunt will square off with former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in the co-main event of UFC 200 on July 9 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The highly anticipated bout marks Lesnar’s first octagon appearance since suffering a TKO loss to Alistair Overeem in the main event of UFC 141.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, “The Super Samoan” is currently riding a two fight win streak, with both victories coming by form of first-round knockout over opponents Frank Mir and Antonio Silva.<\/p>\n

Hunt was a recent guest on The MMA Hour<\/a> where he talked about how his unexpected match with Lesnar came together:<\/p>\n

“I heard about it the same time as everybody else did, pretty much,” Hunt explained recently on The MMA Hour. “… I actually guessed it was probably Brock a long time ago. I guessed it was him, but I was just told to stay ready for UFC 200. I didn’t realize it was Brock Lesnar until someone actually mentioned it, and I was like, oh wow. But I pretty much found out it was confirmed at the same time as everyone else did.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It has been over four years since Lesnar last fought inside the octagon leaving many to wonder what he will bring to the table on July 9:<\/p>\n

“He’s had four years off since his (last) fight, so I’m just looking forward to the match-up. It’s going to be a great fight and I’m not looking past Brock. He’s going to be a tough fight. He’s probably been training for ages. But, I mean, getting hit in the face and everywhere, the body, is part of what we’re used to. He should get used to it because I’m going to try to do a lot of that in the fight.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As for how his fight with Brock will play out at UFC 200, Hunt responded with the following:<\/p>\n

“I don’t know, to be honest,” Hunt said. “I mean, I’m hoping he comes in like a crazy man and then I put him to sleep. That’s basically what I hope is going to happen. But I don’t think he’s that stupid. I think he’s going to be a bit smarter and test the waters first, but we’ll see what happens on the night.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
