Mark Hunt blasts 'juiced to the gills' Brock Lesnar

Kiwi fighter Mark Hunt has launched a scathing attack on returning star Brock Lesnar ahead of their much-anticipated fight at UFC 200.

The UFC announced on Thursday that Lesnar, currently contracted to the WWE, had been granted a four-month exemption from drug testing.

KO COMING: Hunt out to 'knock the lips off' Lesnar

Four months notice is usually required for drug testing under the UFC's Anti-Doping Policy rules, but an exemption may be given at the UFC' discretion "in exceptional circumstances or where the strict application of that rule would be manifestly unfair to an athlete."

As you can see in the video above, decision prompted a ferocious response from Hunt, who accused Lesnar of being "juiced to the gills."

"I don't think that's fair. I think it's a load of bulls***, I think it's rubbish," Hunt said. "I don't think anyone should be exempt from testing. If they're trying to clean the sport up — mixed martial arts — this is a bad way to do it. I don't care who you are. It's ridiculous.

But regardless of whether or not his opponent has an unfair advantage, Hunt says he's still going to knock Lesnar out.
