Brock Lesnar to UFC:

"Brock Lesnar will fight Mark Hunt at UFC 200 as announced Monday morning on ESPN, a great marketing/promotional strategy by UFC and Dana White, BTW, but will also perform at WWE's Summer Slam in a yet to be determined bout."

WWE's Feelings On Brock Lesnar To UFC:

"WWE was obviously in favor of this booking or it would not have happened. Brock at UFC 200 helps WWE as it will create a natural segue regarding Brock at Summer Slam at most turns in the promotional road through mid July. Win or lose at UFC 200, Lesnar will remain the most marketable talent on the WWE roster in the eyes of many including my own."

Brock's strategy:

"I'm concerned about Brock's striking defense against the heavy hands of Mark Hunt. Will Brock react to getting hit in a more positive manner than the last time many saw him in the Octagon? Hunt has KO power in abundance. Love this one, "Brock doesn't like to get Hit." Who in the hell does? Can Brock utilize his wrestling skills and take Hunt down and move the fight to a non vertical place? Hunt has improved his take down defense and will do all he can to keep the fight upright and likely will attempt to end it early."
