Lesnar's hands too big for standard UFC gloves
Brock Lesnar would prefer to wrestle Mark Hunt at UFC 200. He might not have a choice in the matter after testing out the UFC's equipment.
The massive Lesnar struggled to put on a 4XL glove backstage at a media event earlier this week. The tightness will only be accentuated Saturday after Lesnar's hands are properly prepared for his fight.
"When you tape my hands, I don't know if you'll get the glove on," Lesnar said, according to Damon Martin of FOX Sports. "I won't be able to close my hand. Do you have a 5X?"
If officials can't bring in a larger size or find a way to stretch out their existing model, it will put Lesnar at an even bigger disadvantage in the stand-up against Hunt, a world champion kickboxer.
