UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt spoke to reporters during media day in advance of UFC 200, and expressed delight at the opportunity to face the biggest PPV draw in league history.

Hunt, 38, comes into the fight on a two-fight, first round KO streak, over Frank Mir and Antonio Bigfoot Silva. Lesnar is coming off a KO loss to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141 on Dec. 30, 2011.

I think it’s great, and I think it was already one of the biggest events and just to be a part of it is a blessing, said Hunt, as transcribed by Jesse Granger for the Las Vegas Sun. It’s certainly because Brock is as famous as he is, and it’s great news.

He’s a big name in the sport. There will be a lot more people watching because of Brock Lesnar so it will be a big day for me and the sport. In terms of people watching it will definitely be the biggest fight of my career.

The fight camp is going great. I’ve had no injuries and I’m really looking forward to the fight.

We are very opposite in our styles but I think all of the top-end fighters are well versed in everything now.”

There are some real questions as to whether Lesnar is well versed in stand up striking, particularly given the tiny camp available to him for UFC 200.

I envision myself punching him in the face and him flying out of the octagon,” said Hunt.
