Normally measured in his words, Mark Hunt entered into a “boastful” atmosphere to promote the fight he will wage against Brock Lesnar at UFC 200, an event that will take place on July 9, in Las Vegas (USA). The New Zealander adopted an aggressive speech and promised to add another classic knockout to his collection against the former heavyweight champion.
Hunt, a veteran of the fighting world, criticized his rival for his decision to leave MMA a few years ago, as his last participation in the sport was in 2011. “I'm going to knock your head off. I'll hit you in the mouth and your lips will fly out. If he has an itch, I'll scratch it for him. I'm not a part-time fighter. He thinks this is a game where he can come and go as he pleases. I'm sending this pretender back so he can play house with other part-time wrestlers. This is a kingdom for real fighters, not these pretenders. Don’t confuse wrestling with real fighting,” said Hunt on his official website.
Lesnar will return to action amid the UFC's crusade against doping, led by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). “I’ve already said that it’s good that he’s tested, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Now it's time for the punch-in-the-face game, which is a game I've been playing for many years. I deal with a wrestler like I deal with any other fighter: I punch them in the mouth”, added the New Zealander.
The fight between Lesnar and Hunt will be the second most important of UFC 200. In the main attraction, Jon Jones faces Daniel Cormier for the light heavyweight belt.
