Brock Lesnar meets Mark Hunt in UFC return

Just two days after announcing Brock Lesnar’s return to the Octagon, he officially has an opponent — Mark Hunt.

UFC officials announced the match-up on Monday morning.

Lesnar (5-3) ended his UFC career in 2011 after riding a two-fight losing skid. He won the heavyweight championship at UFC 91 against Randy Couture and went on to defend it twice, against Frank Mir and Shane Carwin.

The former WWE Champion lost his title to Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 in 2010 and went on to lose his final fight in the Octagon against Alistair Overeem at UFC 141.
