Seems like a lot of uknowns that could go big in Lesnar's favor. This sorta pass he's getting with USADA testing, the disease he's overcome. Dude is no CM Punk, he's got the collegiate accolades. However, if he's anywhere near the same guy as last time we saw him, Hunt knocks him out. Gonna be a great weekend and hoping to string together some big parlays. I got Edgar high on my list. Aldo is slipping since harsher testing, and dude just doesn't leg kick anymore. Seems like that's something that fighters lose.
GL to all. 7/7, 7/8, 7/9...we all know what it mean when 777s line up.

You're crazy. Anything can happen in a HW bout but I don't see how Lesnar can step in the cage after a 5 yr hiatus, a guy who doesn't react well to being punched, vs the hardest puncher in the UFC (or the world for that matter), who's also very technical and accurate, and who can take a punch. I think I may have said this in a post of my own. I see the bell ringing, Lesnar bull rushing Hunt and trying to take him down. If that doesn't happen within 3 seconds, Lesnar will be sleeping shortly after that if the ref doesn't pull Hunt off. If Lesnar takes his time and tries to be strategic Hunt will pick him apart.
But I'm not an expert and have been wrong MANY times before! Good luck with whatever you choose

That's an interesting take, and I do not claim to be an expert on mma. But, here are the reasons I took Lesnar pretty large:
1) Hunt is a journeyman....12-10 UFC record and over 40 years of age.
2) Lesnar is 5-3 lifetime in UFC and 38 yrs old.
3) I watched Hunt's last KO win over Frank Mir. I discount it for several reasons. It was in Australia, late career Mir is proned to getting knocked out, and the stoppage was due but it was quick.
4) The KO over Bigfoot was a good matchup for Hunt....nice, big, stationary target.
5) Lesnar got WWE approval to take this fight with Summerslam coming up in August. I don't care what anyone says, if Lesnar gets knocked out by Hunt then he loses face as the bully in WWE. I would be surprised if Vince McMahon did not have a say in whom the opponent would be for Lesnar.
6) Hunt is a good matchup for Lesnar. Straight ahead, stationary power puncher, journeyman fighter. If it goes to the ground, Lesnar has a big advantage.
7) Lesnar is a far superior athlete than Hunt has seen since Miocic. There is a good chance that Lesnar will be too much for Hunt to deal with.
8) Lesnar is healthy. He does spot work for WWE, and is reported to have fully recovered from the intestine illness. Should be in great shape and healthy for the matchup.
All in all I agree with your assessment of how it is likely to go. Lesnar will rush and Hunt will counter.....I am of the opinion that Lesnar takes it to the ground relatively easily, and ends it early on....and at + money I think that is the right side to be on.
But hey. I could be wrong!
