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’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.

Three Fights For Brock Lesnar To Take Next

After nearly five years away from the sport, former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made his triumphant return to action in the co-main event of last weekend’s (July 9, 2016) UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada. Ending his previous UFC tenure due to a brutal battle with Diverticulitis, Lesnar claimed that he was healthy and rejuvenated,

Taking on legendary knockout artist Mark Hunt, Lesnar had a difficult task on his hands, and many were counting him out. However, “The Beast” coasted to a somewhat dominant unanimous decision victory, looking fantastic in the process.

In the aftermath of the win, Lesnar left a door open for a possible future with the UFC despite his return being previously billed as a ‘one off’ fight given his current contract with WWE. If he does indeed decide to stick around, Lesnar, now ranked at No. 8 in the heavyweight division, will likely be in line for a huge fight.

Let’s take a look at three possible fights for “The Beast” to take next:

Brock Lesnar Fires Back At Steroid Accusations With Humorous Response

Brock Lesnar is a freak of nature plain and simple. The former UFC heavyweight champion and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) professional wrestler has a monstrous physique, and it’s understandable why many have questioned whether or not that physique came naturally given that there simply aren’t many people built like “The Beast”. With that being said,

With that being said, questions and criticisms regarding drug testing stirred up quite quickly when Lesnar announced that he would be making his return to fighting at July 9’s UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada. Under the new USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) guidelines, a fighter coming out of retirement must be submitted into the testing pool four months prior to when he or she plans on competing. Announcing his return just weeks before the July 9th show, this wasn’t an option for Lesnar so the UFC handed him an exception.

Perhaps it’s clear why the masses would be worried about the situation, but Lesnar has indeed been tested an insane amount of times in his short stint in the USADA pool. “The Beast” has also never failed a drug test. In fact, he’s been dealing with these questions his whole life.

On a recent UFC 200 media call that took place yesterday (June 31, 2016), Lesnar fired back at the steroid accusations with a humorous and simple response:

“I’ve been dealing with that my entire life,” Lesnar said during yesterday’s UFC 200 media conference call (via MMA Junkie). “What do you want me to say? I’m a white boy and I’m jacked, deal with it.”

Well, there you have it. As Lesnar said, perhaps he really just is ‘jacked’, and until a failed drug test says otherwise, we may need to lay off of the former heavyweight champion, and simply enjoy his return.

There have been few bigger stars than Lesnar in the history of the sport, and in just over a week we will see him clash with slugger Mark Hunt in the co-main event of arguably the biggest card of all-time.

That’s something special.

Daniel Cormier Compares Brock Lesnar’s UFC Return To Christmas

Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s return at next month’s (July 9, 2016) UFC 200 has sure over shadowed the event’s highly anticipated main event between reigning 205-pound champion Daniel “DC” Cormier and ex-champion Jon “Bones” Jones. Cormier has no issue with this, however, as he recently compared Lesnar’s return to ‘Christmas time’ on yesterday’s

Cormier has no issue with this, however, as he recently compared Lesnar’s return to ‘Christmas time’ on yesterday’s (June 13, 2016) edition of The MMA Hour:

“So I started to ask everyone when I heard about it because, you know, I got it from a pretty reliable source. I messaged Brock. I said, ‘Hey Brock, is it Christmas time in the Cormier household? Because Brock Lesnar equals pay-per-view buys.’ But he didn’t respond. Then finally after the commercial ran, I got a response from Brock that said, ‘Merry Christmas DC.’ And I was like ‘You got to be kidding me!’ I had to take a moment, sit in the corner a little bit and try to compose myself. It’s tremendous, man.”

In Cormier’s opinion, his rematch with Jones is the biggest fight available in mixed martial arts (MMA) as of now. With that being said, adding Lesnar’s return into the mix should provide for fireworks in Las Vegas:

“It’s a big event; you got Brock Lesnar who you can argue is the biggest star in UFC history. And I believe you have the most important fight that UFC can put on right now. I love Nate, love Conor, it’s a huge fight, but what is it for? It isn’t for a belt. It’s not going to lead to a title shot, it’s a fight that people just want to see because it’s an attraction. When it comes to Jon and I, you have the most important fight UFC can put on at the most important event.”

The card will feature three title fights including the main event, and Lesnar will face off with veteran slugger and legendary knockout artist Mark Hunt in the co-main event.

Is UFC 200 the biggest event of all-time?

Five Reasons Why Brock Lesnar Will Destroy Mark Hunt

The mixed martial arts (MMA) world was stunned when the UFC announced last weekend (June 4, 2016) that former heavyweight champion and current WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar would be making his return to the Octagon at July 9’s UFC 200 from The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The masses were even more surprised when

The masses were even more surprised when Lesnar himself announced that he would be taking on No. 8-ranked slugger Mark Hunt in the co-main event of the blockbuster pay-per-view (PPV).

After nearly five years away from the sport, many had expected Lesnar to be booked against a lower-ranked opponent. Instead, however, he was thrown to the wolves, and will be facing off with perhaps the division’s most feared puncher. “The Super Samoan” possesses a decorated kickboxing background, and still has some gas left in the tank at age 42 as he’s compiled a winning streak that features back-to-back brutal knockouts.

With that being said, it’s understandable why many are picking Hunt to put Lesnar away at UFC 200. However, it’s also interesting to flip the script and look at the fight from another angle for a moment.

Let’s take a look at five reasons why Brock Lesnar just might destroy Mark Hunt next month.
