Following his winning return to action against Mark Hunt at UFC 200, Brock Lesnar has climbed back into the top 10 rankings for UFC heavyweights, as it was revealed on 14 July.

Lesnar had been away from the Octagon for five years but looked completely at home in his bout with Hunt, who did catch him with a couple of vicious strikes.

But the Beast's combination of power, skill and athleticism saw him pick up the win by unanimous decision - with the judges giving Lesnar the win in two of the three rounds.
