If I Did It: Mark Hunt vs the UFC

Welcome to If I Did It, the show where we handle MMA’s PR kerfluffles. This week we look at fall out of the UFC canceling Mark Hunt’s next fight and the drug testing of Cris Cyborg and Holly Holm. Don’t forget to follow us to our non-MMA show If The Shoes Fit right after this episode.

Alexei Auld is back with a brand new book available 7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators to grill Eugene S. Robinson (who’s pushing OXBOW’s new record THIN BLACK DUKE) and me, Kid Nate (who has a new podcast on the history of rock and roll), with some PR stumpers from the world of combat sports.

You’re Mark Hunt. After articulating your health concerns in Players Voice, you were pulled from the UFC Sydney main event for “safety reasons”. You replied, live and in public, if you will, with an expletive laden rant against Dana White. His response? “I don’t expect an apology at all” What response should we expect from you?

You’re WME-IMG. Is Michael Bisping’s trash talk better marketing for his UFC 217 title defense than dropping the pucks, gripping, grinning, and grimacing with GSP public events?

You’re USADA. Cris Cyborg says you’re picking on her: “Third visit from USADA in less than a month. I don’t have fight schedule yet! Let’s go see if my next opponent is doing exams in the same proportion I’m doing! I just saying,” So what are you saying?

Welcome to If I Did It, the show where we dive into PR kerfluffles from the world of MMA and beyond! This week the surprise announcement that Jon Jones failed yet another drug test leads the show.

You’re WME-IMG. UFC President Dana White confirmed, live and in public, if you will, that your Light-Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones failed a UFC 214 drug test. While we don’t have the full story, how do you handle what we do know…a potential four-year suspension for your star?

You’re Jon Jones. With a two USADA drug violations in thirteen months, how can you preserve your position as the Bull of the Woods…without an asterisk?

You’re Daniel Cormier. Does this USADA news give you the stones re-re-match Bones or are you not jonesing to fight Jonny again?

You’re Brian Stann. In your resignation post from UFC fight commentary, you failed to thank WME-IMG, the current owners of the UFC. Was your oversight intentional or accidental?
