Mark Hunt, who is also known as the Super Samoan is a fighter with some class, for one, unlike most fighters he does not pounce on a knocked out opponent and continue to smash his head in, nor does he make monkey noises and hop around the ring like a crazed man on meth! All he does is turn his back to his opponent and walk away with one fist in the air. He is able to maintain such class because when the Super Samoan lands a blow, his opponent simply will not get back up on his feet.
The Samoan is a giant of a human being and weighs in at almost an astounding 300 pounds. The Super Samoan’s next fight is against none other than the one and only once WWE superstar Brock Lesnar. The fight is scheduled for the 9th of July in UFC fight night 200 in Las Vegas.
Hunt spoke with media personnel in a recent interview and said that he was thankful to be able to fight Brock Lesnar because he is well aware of the kind of media attraction Brock Lesnar brings with him and this will essentially provide Hunt with a great stage and stoplight to shine in.
Hunts recent form has been on point too. He has won his last two fights convincingly. In both fights, the huge Samoan was able to finish off his opponents right in the very first round. His opponents in these cases were Frank Mir and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, both of whom are respected fighters that have impressive records.
For Brock Lesnar, this will be his first fight in the UFC since his last appearance which was way back in December 30th, 2011 when he fought and lost to Alistair Overeem at UFC fight night 141.
Lesnar is being thrown right into the action after a five year break so his form maybe questionable and no one is sure how he will perform right off the bat, but what we cannot deny is the media and public attention that he will bring with him.
