He is a beast! I know they are already calling him that but I will personally acknowledge that Lesnar is a special kind of athlete that can overcome insurmountable disadvantages. This about it. Brock Lesnar hasn't fought in nearly 5 years. Mark Hunt is an active Heavyweight, ranked in the top 10 with knockout power and a good takedown defense. This is stylistically a bad matchup for Lesnar and the layoff isn't doing him any favors.
If he wins I might even say that diverticulitis was a major contributing factor to his losses to Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem. Make no mistake, Brock Lesnar has weaknesses. Panicking and folding when you get hit is a psychological problem that stems from Lesnar coming from a wrestling background, not sparring hard enough in the gym and not getting used to being hit. But maybe now that he is healthy he can put the illness behind him.
I personally predict that he is going to lose. I just don't see him holding Hunt down and keeping him down to utilize his wrestling and ground and pound. He could submit Hunt but more likely I think that Lesnar is going to try to set up the takedown with strikes, fail in his attempts and get blasted on the chin then drop and turtle for a 1st Round TKO victory for Mark Hunt. But IF he somehow wins he really is The Beast Incarnate.
