5 times Brock Lesnar was considered an underdog heading into a match

#1 Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt – UFC 200

The return of the Beast

Brock Lesnar is a former UFC Heavyweight champion and is widely considered one of the fiercest competitors ever to compete in the UFC.

To the shock of many, Lesnar returned to action in a one-off fight against the knockout-loving Mark Hunt in the co-main event of UFC 200, thanks to WWE allowing him to do so. Brock was a definite underdog for this bout. He hadn’t fought in the UFC since 2011 when he was defeated in the first round by Alistair Overeem as we noted above.

Since Lesnar's last fight, Hunt had knocked out five of the toughest heavyweights walking the planet and was understandably the favourite.

Against all odds Brock ended up beating Hunt in his return match by a judge’s unanimous vote. This could spell a return to the octagon for Brock in the future and maybe he can now walk in as the favourite rather than the underdog.
