Hunt destroys UFC in explosive interview

Mark Hunt has once again unleashed on the UFC, after the man who defeated him in UFC 200, Brock Lesnar, returned two positive pre-fight drug tests.

The Australian-based heavyweight angrily called for the UFC to take action against “cheaters” like Lesnar, in order to make a stand against doping.

“Before the fight I was assuming he was cheating,” Hunt told the MMA Hour.

“Look at him. There’s no way that guy makes 265 pounds. That guy is a gimp, he’s sticking needles in his a*** like the rest of these cheaters.

“And the thing about that is, he’s sitting here saying ‘this is a fair place.’ Well, it’s not fair. These guys are cheating and they should be in court for it.



“(They should) lose all of their money if they’re cheating, because if I die in there, who’s going to look after my family.

“That’s corrupt s***, man. These motherf***ers should be penalised hard. Dirty, scummy, cheating scum.

“That’s how that monkey won his world title. He didn’t do it by doing it clean. He did it by cheating, just like the rest of these cheaters.”

Lesnar tested positive to the anti-estrogen agent clomiphene twice before UFC 200, the same drug that resulted in Jon Jones being pulled from the event.

However the UFC recently announced they would leave any sanctions for the pair up to USADA and the Nevada Athletic Commission.

42-year-old Hunt has threatened to walk out on the UFC given their lenient stance, and the fact that he has now fought three opponents who were later proven to be using a prohibited substance.

“The best outcome is if the company that I work for says, ‘you’ve been cheating, you lose all of your (fight earnings), and since it was cheating, you get fined. You get sued and you get a fine. You’re going straight to court, criminal court, because what you’ve done is an offence.’ That’s what I want done,” Hunt said.

“So that these guys who are cheating don’t have more incentive to do it, because they do it for financial gain. If you take all of that away, they get nothing.

“Make them banned for five or 10 years. There goes your career. Five, 10 years, you have no career left and not only that, you lose all of your money. You’re done as a fighter.

“That’ll stop you from doing it. That’s what I want to see done. I won’t be a part of any company who says ‘we don’t mind you cheating or doing this or that,’ otherwise then every monkey will be (cheating).”
