UFC FANS LEARNED on Saturday night that Brock Lesnar would make a sensational one-time return to the Octagon.
Now we know that Mark Hunt is the man he’ll face.
Lesnar appeared on ESPN’s Sportscenter earlier to confirm the news.
“Why not? It could be anybody. I didn’t care,” Lesnar said. “If Dana White called me and said, ‘You have opponent X, Y, and Z, who do you want?’ He never gave me those options. This is the guy that we want you to face, I said, ‘Great. This is what I’m going to do.’”
Lesnar, who has a 5-3 record, hasn’t competed in the UFC since a first-round TKO loss to Alistair Overeem in December 2011. The 38-year-old then retired from MMA and returned to professional wrestling with the WWE.
