Mark Hunt On What A Win Over Brock Lesnar Means (Video), Hunt - Lesnar And CM Punk UFC Betting Odds

- Mark Hunt (12-10-1) appeared on the most recent episode of Inside MMA, as seen on the video above. During the interview, Hunt was asked about Brock Lesnar getting all the publicity for their upcoming clash at UFC 200, despite Hunt being the betting favorite.

"Yeah, that's probably the reason why people are watching this, because it's Brock, Brock, Brock, Brock, and hey, that's cool by me," Hunt said. "I'm looking forward to the fight and just to be fighting Brock, he's a huge name in sports. Probably a lot of people are going to watch this fight because he's on the card. It's good for my stock as well, it's great. I saw a picture in Times Square of him and me on it, so it's quite cool."

Hunt also talked about recently expressing his disapproval of Lesnar being granted a USADA exemption for the four-month written rule so that he can fight at UFC 200. Hunt said that there should be an event playing field, but "I guess money talks these days, right?" He said that he doesn't care about what's happening with the test, and that he's just looking forward to winning the fight.

"I mean it [a victory over Brock] does nothing for my rankings, but it does everything for my profile, of course, because he's such a huge name," Hunt noted.
