The great rival of Brock Lesnar, including being his opponent in the main fight of UFC 100, could not fail to comment on the former champion's return to the Octagon, on the UFC 200 card. Frank mir talked about Lesnar's return and bet on a victory Mark Hunt on July 9th, for a very unusual reason.

“He's afraid... he doesn't like being hit. I mean, not that anyone likes getting hit, but Brock, for whatever reason, has shown a dramatically more negative response than others to the hits he takes. To the point where he is not knocked out, he is not knocked out, he is not taken to the ground, but he simply turns his face to adversity. That's a bad thing when he faces himself Mark Hunt, who is one of the guys with the heaviest hands in the division”, said Mir, to the North American website “MMA Fighting”.

However, Mir also sees a good alternative for Lesnar to win the duel: betting on the ground game and tiring Hunt out. “If he can take Hunt down and control him there… Hunt is known for getting tired on the ground and getting completely fatigued. In the end, it will be a question of who will be able to carry out their game plan”, he guaranteed.

While Frank mir is suspended after being caught in a surprise anti-doping test, Brock Lesnar faces Frank mir in the co-main fight of UFC 200, on July 9, at the “T-Mobile Arena”, in Las Vegas (USA).
