Mark Hunt Says The UFC Knew About Brock Lesnar’s Doping

The post Mark Hunt Says The UFC Knew About Brock Lesnar’s Doping appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Just over a month ago the UFC attempted to highlight the year with their 200th pay-per-view show. On July 9, 2016 fans were promised a blockbuster, ground breaking card from Las Vegas, Nevada. Oddly enough, that fateful night in the desert may well have proved the key to a legitimate fighters union finally being formed. The reason behind this highly unexpected chain reaction? Two failed drug tests, featuring the main and co-main event stars, that threw the entire card in to turmoil.

When interim light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones was pulled from the card three days out, anxiety for the event was fraught among fight fans. How would the card recover with so little time to shuffle things around? Former middleweight champion Anderson Silva gallantly stepped in to face Daniel Cormier. We now know that fight wasn’t exactly the most entertaining. We are also too aware that Jones’ discrepancy wasn’t the only one.

Mark Hunt's last ever UFC fight? — Mark Hunt’s last ever UFC fight?

The immediate moments after the somewhat lacklustre UFC 200 event was filled with reflections. Was the UFC’s biggest card ever a bust? Well, yeah, and it was only going to get worse. Now it was Brock Lesnar’s turn to get scalped by USADA, who announced he’d failed a drug test on July 9 and also June 28. Both Lesnar and Jones tested positive for a form of anti-estrogen called Clomiphene. Here’s where things got interesting.

Distraught by the fact Lesnar had banked a whopping $2.5 million disclosed pay check, Mark Hunt went on the attack. He blasted the UFC and Lesnar, who’d beaten him by decision in the UFC 200 co-main event, demanding the WWE star’s entire purse. He was denied, as the promotion announced they wouldn’t fine Lesnar or Jones, and this led to outrage from ‘The Super Samoan.’

Hunt announced he would be starting a fighters union. Weeks later it was revealed that a fighters association had indeed been formed, headed by sports agent Jeff Borris. Hunt’s arguments may well have a proper platform to be launched from, as he is continuing to do so at present over social media. The hard-hitting former K-1 champion points out the UFC ‘took money over his health’ in allowing Lesnar to compete while ‘they knew he was doping.’

Check out the latest from his Official Facebook Page:

I will not let this go. Fighting is something I used to love doing ok now these cheating scum plus this piece of shit company has screwed me over. They would rather make millions of dollars over my fucking health and every fighter who abides by the rules they set, just to let some steroid using loser make his own rules. I absolutely believe they knew about him doping and should be held accountable for putting my life come second to their greed.

Mark Hunt Gets Tested By USADA & Goes Berserk At Them

It’s been three weeks now since the festivities of UFC 200 went down. The promotion set out to put on their greatest show to date, but a number of unexpected occurrences saw the event steadily slide down hill. In terms of overall entertainment UFC 200 could not deliver, at least not to the high standard expected. The event took some big hits during fight week and after, making the memory of the highly anticipated event seem so much more sour. First off it Was Jon Jones who delivered a staggering body blow to UFC 200.

The current interim and former undisputed light-heavyweight champion ‘Bones’ was yanked from the event on Wednesday of the July 9 fight week. The three-day run of live UFC shows hadn’t even got underway yet and already the promotion was dealing with crisis. Failing a USADA (United States Anti Doping Agency) test dating back to June 16 meant ‘Bones’ was replaced by Anderson Silva. The troubles of UFC 200 were far from over.

Lesnar body slams the UFC

Returning from five years away, ex-heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar took on one-punch knockout artist Mark Hunt. The WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) star turned up at the weigh-in looking in his best condition yet. Physically Lesnar was huge as always, but ripped to shreds too. ‘The Super Samoan’ voiced his suspicions about potential steroid use, but the fight went ahead. Lesnar won a convincing decision, but the worst was yet to come.

Once again the Elliot Ness of the UFC, Jeff Novitsky and his ‘untouchables’ USADA had claimed UFC 200’s biggest remaining star, albeit days after the fight had transpired. Hunt was furious, first calling for all of Brock Lesnar’s record-breaking $2.5 million purse, then taking a stand against the UFC and kick starting a fighters union at the same time.

Hunt’s continued anger

Hunt was beside himself with rage, both regarding Lesnar’s failed test but the overall treatment from the UFC since July 9 and the lack of deterrents for offenders. The mandatory two-year ban was not enough argued ‘The Super Samoan,’ also raising the question of criminal charges if he were injured or worse. After explicitly condemning the promotion and their practice, Hunt also revealed he’d likely never fight for the UFC again.

Well now there’s been more from Hunt on the issue, as per his official Facebook page, as he blasts USADA for stopping by and testing him.

Check it out:

“Don’t fucken waste my time with your bullshit testing ok why are u even testing when u fuckers don’t do shit about it take your out of competition testing and stick it up your ass cheating motherfuckers what a bunch of wankers”

Then, responding to a fan who questioned his status, Hunt continued his rant:

“Shut up idiot u don’t know shit wats the point if testing wen there isn’t really any harsh penalties 2 years ban is bullshit if the guy cheating had killed his oponent would u still think 2 years was a good enough penalty you’re a moron shut your mouth dummy they should lose all the money be banned for life and go criminal court”

“Idiots like (you) don’t understand its jus a matter of time before someone dies and u think your stupid ass would be still talking like that stfu dummy”

One Former UFC Champ Supports Mark Hunt’s Attempt To Unionize Fighters

Since former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar failed both in and out-of competition drug tests in conjunction with his UFC 200 win over Mark Hunt for an estrogen blocker, “The Super Samoan” has been not surprisingly making a ton of noise about the sticky situation. The fan favorite knockout artist first called out for half

The post One Former UFC Champ Supports Mark Hunt’s Attempt To Unionize Fighters appeared first on LowKick MMA.

The fan favorite knockout artist first called out for half of Lesnar’s $2.5 million purse, then all of it, declared he would attempt to organize a fighter’s union (an increasingly discussed avenue in today’s MMA universe), and finally, topped it all off with a profanity-laced outburst to Ariel Helwani on this week’s edition of The MMA Hour.

News came that the UFC had apparently contacted Hunt and had a ‘positive’ conversation, but it’s tough to think the hatchet was completely buried. And although it’s a more than difficult prospect to organize a fighter’s union in MMA, one prominent figure is willing to support “The Super Samoan” all the way.

Currently fighting in Bellator, former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson told MMA Fighting that he is all for Hunt’s efforts, as it’s something that should have been implemented a long time ago:

“I 100 percent support Mark Hunt, everything he’s doing and talking about. I think it’s a long time coming, it should have been here a long time ago.”

“Smooth” was at the center of negotiations with the UFC when his contract ran out, and he found he was more valued by Bellator. It was big news when Henderson left the UFC, because he’d been one of their most consistent fighters, often willing to fight anyone on short notice to save an event.

With fighter pay and treatment currently at the forefront of MMA discussion, Henderson also cited his support the current antitrust lawsuit being levied at the UFC by former fighters:

“There are a lot of other guys, Cung Le, Jon Fitch, there have been guys who have talked about it for a long time,” Henderson said. “I show my support and solidarity with those guys. As a mixed martial artist, I definitely support them.”

And while it’s been mostly all talk up to this point, Representative Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma – a former MMA fighter himself – has proposed a bill to Congress to introduce the Muhammad Ali Act to MMA as a segway to fair treatment for MMA competitors everywhere. Henderson sees this as a necessary transition for MMA fighters to get what they’re worth, and believes they should have been more intelligent before only now fighting for their rights:

“Boxers are used to it. They know they are supposed to get this and supposed to get that, and what it’s supposed to be like and how it is supposed to be conducted. Us, as mixed martial artists, we’re finally getting like, ‘oh yeah, we should make this much money.’ NFL, they had a lockout so that they could get 51 percent of the total gross revenue. Us fighters, we get, like, seven percent, maybe seven percent of gross revenues. So, us as athletes, we’re not that smart and it took us awhile to get our act together.”

UFC Reportedly Has ‘Positive’ Conversation With Mark Hunt

Heavyweight fan favorite Mark Hunt drew the attention of the entire MMA universe yesterday (Mon., July 25, 2016) when he went off on the UFC in a profanity-laced tirade about Brock Lesnar’s in and out-of competition drug test failures before and after UFC 200. Dragging his employer’s name through the mud to The MMA Hour

Heavyweight fan favorite Mark Hunt drew the attention of the entire MMA universe yesterday (Mon., July 25, 2016) when he went off on the UFC in a profanity-laced tirade about Brock Lesnar’s in and out-of competition drug test failures before and after UFC 200.

Dragging his employer’s name through the mud to The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani, Hunt discussed a myriad of topics like organizing a fighter union, wanting half (and then all) of Lesnar’s record purse, and his considering legal action for the UFC’s willingness to have him fight an opponent who was on performance-enhancing drugs.

It’s easy to understand why “The Super Samoan” was upset, as steroids and PEDs have arguably been the hottest topic in the sport since USADA was enlisted to clean up fighting in 2015. There are obviously legitimate concerns for fighter safety and health with so many fighters now being proved to be on one substance or another, and the the fact that special circumstances were implemented to get Lesnar into the Octagon on short notice after Conor McGregor was pushed off of UFC 200 only make it worse.

Some felt Hunt would be fired for his outburst, but ESPN.com has reported that quite the opposite is the case:

“A UFC official told ESPN.com that Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance Jeff Novitzky had “a lengthy conversation with Hunt” on Monday and that dialogue was “positive.”

According to the official, the conversation was to “address Hunt’s concerns with Lesnar’s potential anti-doping violation, as well as the results management process related to the case.”

In response to Hunt’s concerns regarding the time frame in which the UFC knew of Lesnar’s potential violation, the official adamantly denied any knowledge prior to July 9.”

That’s a bit of a vague description of the conversation and what exact issues were addressed, so even though the UFC denied any and all knowledge of Lesnar’s pending failure form the June 28 test beforehand, that isn’t going to change the fact that USADA needs to find out and inform the UFC of any pertinent results before an event takes place, not after the fact when a fighter was put in danger, pay-per-views were sold, and it just doesn’t matter.

Hunt did not respond to questions surrounding the reported talk with Novitzky, and it’s a difficult scenario to imagine that “The Super Samoan” – who’s fought three opponents found to have been on PEDs in recent years – has cooled down from his epic outburst of only yesterday.

Is there anything the promotion can do to make it right with their popular Australian slugger, or do they simply not care as Hunt suggests?

Mark Hunt’s Next Fight Against The UFC & ‘White Monkey’ Lesnar

The post Mark Hunt’s Next Fight Against The UFC & ‘White Monkey’ Lesnar appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Popular UFC heavyweight contender Mark Hunt set the MMA community ablaze last night (Monday July 25, 2016). Appearing on ‘The MMA Hour’ to discuss Brock Lesnar’s two failed drug tests, ‘The Super Samoan’ left nothing to the imagination. His UFC 200 opponent and pro wrestling star Lesnar had popped on June 28 and also the date of the event, July 9, with both results being revealed after the fact. When USADA (United States Anti Doping Agency) and the UFC went public with the results, even they couldn’t have foreseen the aftermath.

Furious fighters and fans opined on the controversial subject of both Lesnar and Jon Jones’ failed drug test. Unlike ‘Bones’ who was pulled from the card prior due to his June 16 test fail, Lesnar was able to compete and win against Hunt. This has led to quite an unexpected division among fans, one that really helped fuel the dismayed former K-1 champion’s tirade last night.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the full segment of Mark Hunt exploding during his interview with Ariel Helwani. You might want to keep the volume down if you’re at work.

It’s certainly hard to see such a likeable character so irate and frustrated. It’s also somewhat confusing that a few sects of fans are actually supporting Brock Lesnar and condemning Hunt for his appeals. After facing three fighters who have failed drug tests in his most recent bouts, surely ‘The Super Samoan’ deserves to be backed in his outrage?

Whichever way you look at it, Lesnar’s duo of flunked dope screens are proving to be potentially far more trouble than they were worth. Money talks louder than ever in the MMA world, and still fighter safety appears to be a secondary concern. USADA taking over the drug testing has seen a number of high level busts now, but concerns only seem to grow exponentially with each major scalp claimed.

In a land where cheaters prosper (see Lesnar’s record-breaking $2.5 million pay for UFC 200), how many honest employees will be motivated to join Mark Hunt’s fighter union. The seemingly iron-clad rule by the UFC brass may act as a deterrent, but will also lubricate the cogs of further issues surrounding this dynamic and intricate topic.

Mark Hunt’s next fight is against the UFC and Brock Lesnar, at least by the sounds of things, can he win? Perhaps only with the backing of some more heavy hitters from the promotion’s ranks, stay tuned.

Report: Brock Lesnar & Jon Jones Will Not Face UFC Fines

The post Report: Brock Lesnar & Jon Jones Will Not Face UFC Fines appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC 200 took many hits of a wide variety in the lead up, on fight night and following the July 9 milestone event. After the rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz was taken off the main event, fans began to wonder what star power was left given the busy nature of the rest of the champions and talent in the months prior to UFC 200. In the bag was Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones part 2, so not too bad after all, but that fight would not come to fruition.

‘Bones’ was announced to have failed a USADA (United States Anti Doping Agency) drug screen dating back to June 16 of this year. Jeff Novitsky dropped the game changer just three days prior to the event, and suddenly the card was in real trouble. A slight buffer was provided when Anderson Silva replaced Jones against ‘DC,’ but still an immeasurable amount of damage had been done to the card, especially in the midst of the UFC’s sale becoming official.

The woe and sorrow surrounding UFC 200 was far from blown over, as Brock Lesnar was later revealed to have also failed a USADA screen. His bust was announced after he’d trounced Mark Hunt for three rounds, leaving ‘The Super Samoan’ in a furious mood. The heavy hitting former K-1 champion would later declare he was starting a fighters union because of the scandalous events surrounding Lesnar’s UFC return. It was also later revealed that Lesnar had failed an in-competition test on the very day of UFC 200.

So what’s the score as far as the UFC are concerned? Arguably the two biggest stars of the card, both popped for estrogen blockers, and now face serious consequences from USADA. From the UFC though? Nothing, this coming from Marc Raimondi on Twitter:

Lesnar tested positive for anti-estrogen; Lesnar, Jones won’t face UFC fine (@marc_raimondi) https://t.co/rHnxN3lCOl pic.twitter.com/WPddM03wut

Of course the Nevada State Athletic Commission and USADA will ultimately decide both fighter’s fates respectively, but the UFC not adding to their troubles will probably come as good news to Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar.

The big question is who will be next…
