Hunt slams 'coward' UFC fighter

Aussie based UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt has taken aim at one of his rivals in a vicious Instagram post.

Hunt was clearly furious after finding out Fabricio Werdum ducked his fight offer to go up against Derrick Lewis, a man Hunt defeated in his last fight.

Hunt called out the Brazilian heavyweight in August, saying on Facebook.

“I want Fabricio Werdum, everyone message Fabricio and tell him I want to dance," he wrote.

Since then Hunt has been scheduled to fight in his home city of Sydney in November against 10th ranked Pole Marcin Tybura.

That was all fine with Hunt, until he realised Werdum was indeed ok to fight when he was scheduled in to fight Lewis at UFC 216.

“Thought u wasn’t ready to fight,” Hunt wrote on social media.

"You’re a true chicken s*** Werdum f***** bum. There’s two things I hate in fighters, cheaters and filthy dog cowards."
