UFC 200 Results: Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt Video Highlights

After five years away from the octagon, Brock Lesnar returned at UFC 200 to take on Mark Hunt. Who came out the victor?

It’s fair to say the road to UFC 200 has been a rocky one, with main events switching almost by the day. Initially, Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor was slotted as the top fight, before Connor thought he could strong arm the UFC with some pre-fight demands. Well, he gambled and lost, getting tossed off the card entirely. Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier were next in line for the main event before Jones was popped for a doping violation by the USADA, thus cancelling that match, although, Anderson Silva stepped up to take on Cormier in Jones’ absence.

Suddenly, Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt was at the top of the card – for about a day – before being moved down to “Co-Main Event” with Bantamweight Champion, Miesha Tate taking on Amanda Nunes becoming the new, and final, main event fight.

Brock is looking for a big win to help bring momentum towards WWE’s SummerSlam PPV, when he takes on Randy Orton. Was he able to overcome Hunt’s knockout power? Let’s find out!
