"What is your reaction to the Ariel Helwani story"
"I don't even know who that is."

Is this an exchange that actually happened and who did it involve?

Paraphrasing the interviewer, Brock Lesnar said the latter word for word.

Honestly, I'd be shocked if Paul Heyman wasn't the one who tipped off Ariel. Heyman loves to jack himself off about his marketing prowess and making this a huge deal is exactly something he would do.

Brock has cojones though.

He takes 4 years out and never really liked getting punched to fighting Mark loving Hunt.

He might be able to Hunt down, he definitely could if he was at his best and full time MMA training I think but now? Scary.

He barely wrestles so he's had plenty of free time. But he lives in the middle of nowhere so he'd have to have been flying people in to train with him, and since he hates interacting with humans the chances of that don't seem too great.

You're operating on the assumption that Brock Lesnar knows who Mark Hunt even is, much less anything about his fighting style.

Also let's assume for the first time in his career Lesnar bothered to look anything up about the guy he's fighting, you're assuming Lesnar is concerned about the guy who historically got taken down and submitted a whole bunch.

Dave was speculating and hoping it wouldn't be Mark because Mark would 100% give Brock a concussion and that will ruin plans for wwe.

So Mark getting the call is awesome in so many ways because gently caress Vince McMahon. :haw:

It's not an assumption, he straight up said if he takes Hunt down, he's done and that this is the classic match-up between striker and grappler. He knows who Mark Hunt is at least in a stylistic capacity.

Helwani is not a journalist because he doesn't really do anything to investigate.

This is a pretty stupid statement when the entire reason he was banned was for reporting something the UFC was keeping so under wraps that even their color commentator didn't know it ahead of time.

No.

that is no doubt the sickest card of all time on paper

it really is, if you look at it from a matchmaking standpoint you have

Cormier vs Jones - #2 vs #1 light heavyweights, arguably all time (but really it's Chuck)
Brock vs Hunt - #2 vs #1 heavyweights of all time, definitively
Edgar vs Aldo - #3 and #2 featherweights
Travis Browne getting beaten the gently caress up forever, unless he wins, which is worth it for the death of AKA
and finally a feel good fight for Miesha Tate who most everybody likes

UFC pulled it off with UFC 200, I'm impressed.

The only people who don't like Miesha Tate are big clit advocates, Rin Nakai fanatics, and I dunno people who prefer to poo poo out in the woods as opposed to modern plumbing. Maybe I underestimate how large these groups are

Many people have expressed dislike for Miesha Tate due to reports of her being an unpleasant and outright antagonistic person, while a much larger group of people here have expressed dislike for her based on the perceived notion that she's not particularly good at fighting. It's not that weird.
