“He (Lesnar) was a good wrestler in college, but he’s afraid of getting punched. This makes things dangerous, especially if you're going up against a guy who hits hard. If Hunt can defend against Brock's takedown attempts, even a little, then Brock will be in serious trouble. I mean, he's tough and he has heart, because he's going to fight and he's going to keep going and I have to recognize that. He has heart and fights hard, but he's very afraid of punches, so you just need to start punching him,” the “Iceman” told the “Hollywood Life” website.
Brock Lesnar faces Mark Hunt in the co-main fight of UFC 200, on July 9, at the “T-Mobile Arena”, in Las Vegas (USA). In the main fight of the most important event on the Ultimate calendar in 2016, the current light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will defend his second belt in a rematch against the owner of the interim title, and his tormentor about a year and a half ago, Jon Jones.
