SPORT DADDY NEWS UFC

Check out the early betting lines for the newly announced UFC 200 co-main event between former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt.

Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt is happening at UFC 200. Yup, you read that right. Lesnar is back in the UFC to fight on the co-main event of the advertised "biggest PPV ever." You want the betting lines for this matchup between the former heavyweight champ and the current #8 ranked fighter in the division? Here was the opening line that Pinnacle set, courtesy of Best Fight Odds.

What? Really? Brock Lesnar as a 2-to-1 favorite despite 0 MMA fights since 2011 and no wins since July 2010? Mark Hunt at +176 as the actual top 10 heavyweight with the punching power to wreck just about anyone? Yeah, that didn't last long. As of this article's 5:30 PM ET publish, Lesnar is now the underdog, with Hunt nearing the -200 mark himself.

Bookmaker.eu opened their line at Hunt -195/Lesnar +166.

For the record, the image may show Hunt at -190 and Lesnar at +171,  but the lines will continue to change over the next few weeks, so if you're reading this article and the numbers are different from what I've written, you know why. If you wanted to lay some money down on Hunt when he was at +176, then you're too late.

A little fun fact for you: Brock Lesnar has never closed as bigger than a -250 favorite and never bigger than a +140 underdog. If the current lines trend in Hunt's favor and hold that way, this will be the biggest underdog MMA fight of Lesnar's career.
