5 times Brock Lesnar playfully took people down on the microphone

#4 Brock Lesnar on Mark Hunt

On the Hunt.

Despite claiming to be done with the UFC a few years prior, Lesnar made his return to the Octagon in 2016 against Mark Hunt. The match was quite the publicity stunt for both UFC and WWE, considering that Lesnar was also due to face Randy Orton at Summerslam two months later.

In a post-match press conference, Lesnar showed his stereotypical self-confidence, essentially dismissing the idea that Hunt was even a challenge for him. After so long away from the company, Brock made a point of how impressive his victory was. He was able to put a team together on such short notice, come out and walk away with the decision.

When asked about Hunt's abilities, in particular, Brock made what sounded to be a somewhat glancing swipe when he challenged the idea that Hunt was a so-called 'power hitter'. The journalist suggested to Brock that he had taken Hunt's best shots, to which Lesnar responded, "I don't know if they were his best shots or not, I felt em and I guess I can take them".

While remaining generally respectful of his opponent and the sport in general, it was fairly amusing to see the Beast stood on the UFC platform and essentially argue that even with short notice he can take the best of what the roster has to offer.

In his follow up match with Orton at Summerslam, and with the sight of Orton's head split open on the canvass, it's hard to look back at that press conference and deny what Lesnar was trying to say.
