It's really a toss-up between Hunt and Lesnar. It's a great oldschool style vs. style match, wrestler vs. striker. Either Lesnar gets Hunt down quickly and keeps him their or Hunt KO's Lesnar quickly. This is one fight that isn't going the distance.
I just have a feeling that Lesnar will get Hunt down and finish him. If that's the case Lesnar will most likely continue fighting in the UFC as he inferred in his ESPN interview. Apparently Lesnar fighting in the UFC is beneficial to the UFC and WWE which is why it's allowed. I suppose Lesnar getting more exposure gives the WWE more exposure also and thus more money.
If Lesnar wins Roy Nelson has been calling him out. As much as that would be an interesting fight, if Lesnar beats Hunt we've just seen a wrestler vs. striker (although Hunt also has a very good ground game), I'd like to see Lesnar fight someone else. Currently the UFC HW division does have a lot of strikers at the top with Stipe, Overeem, JDS (who's fallen in love with his striking and forgotten his grappling roots), Overeem, Struve, Arlovski, and others.
I'd like to see Lesnar rematch Overeem whether Reem is the champ or not. Lesnar vs. Josh Barnett's catch-wrestling would be an interesting fight.
I wouldn't doubt if the UFC gave Lesnar 1 more fight against someone who's ranked high and then a title shot. Or maybe even an immediate title shot if he beats Hunt. Lesnar is the biggest star the UFC has ever had, bigger than Rousey and McGregor which will be shown then Lesnar's UFC 200 ppv numbers topple his UFC 100 numbers (which is the current highest UFC ppv of all time).
So, if Lesnar beats Hunt, who do you want to see Lesnar fight next?
