All things aside I am looking forward to this fight. Lesnar is a world class wrestler and Mark Hunt is a world class striker. Mark is also very hard to take down. If this fight stays standing for any period of time I see Hunt dominating. Likewise if Lesnar can bring his takedown skills to bear he probably will dominate on the ground. This is an exciting match up and why Dana was so eager to make it!

I'd have rather seen him fight werdum see how he does against his jiu jitsu. That fight would be guaranteed excitement thus one while still could be exciting if could easily be 3 rounds of Brock laying and preying but we'll see

He may be a performer in entertainment (pro) wrestling, but he's also a legitimate wrestler (NCAA Division 1 champion) and mixed martial artist (former UFC champion).

You can question whether he should be at the top of the card, given his 5 year absence from MMA due to health issues, but it's pretty silly to question his qualifications as a wrestler and mixed martial artist.

I agree. I think Lesnar actually performed pretty well when he first came on the MMA scene back in 2008/2009. When I first saw him knock down Frank Mir with one punch, I was just like "whoa!".
