3. Frank Mir Says Mark Hunt Will Knock Out Brock Lesnar In Under 3 Minutes
On the recent edition of the Phone Booth Fighting Podcast, Frank Mir (Brock Lesnar’s UFC 100 opponent) noted that Lesnar can’t beat Mark Hunt. Below is what he said:
“I think we’re going to know who’s going to win this fight in the first 180 seconds. Mark Hunt is the hardest puncher I’ve ever faced. Lesnar doesn’t like to be hit. Not that anybody likes to be hit, but Brock for whatever reason has shown much more of a dramatic response to the negativity of taking those shots; to the point to where he’s not asleep, it isn’t like he got knocked out, he’s not getting dropped, but he just turns his face away from adversity. That’s a bad thing when fighting Mark Hunt, who I think it one of the hardest punchers in the division.”
Below is what Alistair Overeem (Brock’s final UFC/MMA opponent from UFC 141) said about Brock’s return on Instagram:
“Brock coming back: Mixed emotions ~ I’m pretty excited (and surprised at the same time) to be honest. He came into the UFC from outta nowhere and basically destroyed his competition, took gold and achieved what no heavyweight did before. When we faced each other though, I looked him in the eye and could see he didn’t really want to be in there. And for the people claiming it was his illness – you get medically cleared to fight. If something is wrong with you, bothering you – your not getting cleared to fight and thus the fight ain’t happening. The commissions are very strict about health and safety issues. At the same time..
We all love comeback stories.. Especially when they are successful. And let’s be honest – When Brock brings it – It is explosive & exciting to watch. Let’s see what happens with Mark Hunt.”
