UFC 200 Results: 7 Big Talking Points

Despite the shuffling around of the card, ultimately switching the order moving the women's title match to the main event slot, the bout between WWE superstar Brock Lesnar and concrete-fisted Mark Hunt was the real drawing card for this event. In fact, with the exclusion of Jon Jones, had UFC not pulled out the ultimate trump card with Lesnar this show would have been a significant disappointment financially.

Rabid MMA fans offended at the pro wrestler once again invading their home turf wanted nothing more than Hunt's heavy hands to wreck Lesnar's chin, while Brock's legions of supporters longed for him to prove the doubters wrong by pulling off a win over one of the most respected guys in the game after a five year absence.

Those previously vocal Lesnar critics have grown quiet as hell all of a sudden.

Everyone knew this fight would go one of two ways. Brock has shown a tremendous aversion to being hit, so if "The Super Samoan" was able to land a few on his larger foe people expected that Lesnar would shut down and lose his composure or possibly his consciousness. Hunt, while having respectable takedown defense, has never faced a wrestler as big, strong and dynamic as Lesnar and if he wound up on his back, had nothing to offer from that position from a grappling standpoint.

The first round saw Brock at ease, landing several takedowns and controlling Hunt from the top position. The much more experienced brawler was able to survive and even regained his footing a few times, but the first stanza was all Lesnar.

The second round went to Hunt, who landed a few strikes but nothing of any significance, while managing to avoid Brock's massive form planting him back on the mat. The WWE star showed brief flashes of panic when he was unable to get Mark to the ground, something he'd fallen victim to in losses to Velasquez and Alistair Overeem, but he made it out of the second without sustaining any damage or being in any danger whatsoever.

The final five minute period was all Lesnar, who secured an early takedown on Hunt, worked his way into the mount and began unloading the cinder blocks he calls fists onto the head of his pinned down foe. To his credit, Hunt tried to return fire but he had no room to maneuver thanks to Brock's positioning, and when the bell rang everyone knew the The Beast had vanquished the man expected to send him packing back to WWE a beaten man.
