Sonnen discredits Lesnar's wrestling, says Mark Hunt 'wrecks' him at UFC 200

Chael Sonnen suggests size had a lot to do with Brock Lesnar's wrestling accomplishments and says he gets wrecked by Mark Hunt at UFC 200.

One of the reasons Brock Lesnar was such a force to be reckoned with in the UFC was because of his amateur wrestling background. The two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion amassed a record of 106-4 and proved to be a serious powerhouse in the UFC heavyweight division.

After beating Randy Couture for the HW title in 2008, Lesnar used his wrestling to overwhelm and TKO Frank Mir at UFC 100.
