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: F* UFC The Bunch Of C**, They Threw Me Under The Bus

UFC heavyweight, Pride FC veteran and former K-1 world champion Mark Hunt has really been there and done it in the combat sports world. His exciting one punch knockouts make ‘The Super Samoan’ a huge draw among fans, and he has been quite the Cinderella story since joining the UFC, at least for a time

The post Mark Hunt: F*** UFC The Bunch Of C****, They Threw Me Under The Bus appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Lesnar was revealed to have failed a dope screen by USADA (United States Anti Doping Agency) on both June 28 and July 9, the day of their fight. Having won a convincing decision over Hunt and took home a record-breaking $2.5 million purse, Lesnar’s drug scandal has enraged fans, but one worse than ‘The Super Samoan’ himself.

Brock Lesnar UFC 200 Weigh in

Lesnar’s shredded physique had many eyebrows raised before UFC 200. He was visibly bigger than seven years ago at UFC 100, and as he creeps up on 40 years of age his opponent Hunt is suspicious in pre-fight interviews. Initially after the fight ‘The Super Samoan’ was typically respectful as usual. Once the bad news on the WWE superstar was revealed though, Hunt declared he wanted all of Lesnar’s purse or a release from his contract with the UFC

It appears Mark Hunt has seen enough cheating and underhanded tactics by his fellow fighters, having fought three fighters that have failed drug tests either before or after the fact, or both. Appearing on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani this afternoon, ‘The Super Samoan’ furthered his call to fighters to join his union. He also makes some seriously damning statements about the UFC, USADA, Brock Lesnar and anyone who thinks it’s OK to ‘juice’ and fight.

Fair warning: This interview is not for the faint of heart as Mark Hunt does not hold back at all.

“All these people who follow that piece of crap cheater are saying ‘why are you still talking about it? It’s OK to cheat,’ Listen here; all these boys and girls who want to be prize fighters just stick a needle in your ass and you’ll be fine!”

“I reached out to Dana to ask him what’s going on, and they aren’t doing a damn thing. What if I get really badly hurt or die? He’s a cheater, Brock is sticking needles in his arsehole, they should go to court for it. Who’s gonna look after my kids if I die against one of these cheaters?”

“That’s how these dirty cheaters win titles, they are all cheating, they aren’t clean. At this moment I don’t want to be a part of this company unless they do something about this sh*t. They are not doing anything about it.”

“If you are gonna make this a cheaters sport, lets all cheat, we’ll all stick needles in our arse and see who dies first. To be honest I don’t know why they gave him the exemption, it’s like he’s walking in to the octagon with a gun. Someone could die because someone was cheating.”

“There’s no way that white monkey is gonna make 265. Then when he gets caught then they throw me under the bus? You f*cking cheaters should all die in a fire, f*cking kiss my arse. I’m thinking maybe (the UFC) knew.”

“Why did they give him the exemption? They were just like ‘let’s stick this juiced up monkey in there for a big fight.’ Then the fool had his own press conference. People are scared because of what the company says, f*ck the company. They don’t care about you!”

“I’ll probably get a firing message from the company, but f*ck them, the company is a bunch of scumbag. They made enough money from our blood for years. The worse thing about it is I get sh*t from these steroid using monkeys, are you gonna look after my family? C*nts.”

“They should get sued and go to criminal court. I’m considering legal action. F*ck the UFC, bunch of c*nts, motherf*ckers, f*ck you fire me for that!”

“Trying to start a union is hard, but I can’t carry on fighting cheaters. It’s a bunch of cheaters and crooks. We need all the fighters to get together, this is about the future of the kids who look up to us as fighters. The UFC just thew me under the bus, they don’t give a sh*t about us.”

“It’s time for us to stick together, these companies don’t make nothing without us, they make no money without fighters. It’s gotta be done, somethings gotta be done. I’m not interested in working for a company that throws you under the bus. They are all cheaters, f*ck em’”

“Sooner or later someone is gonna die, are they just gonna let the other guy walk away if he gets caught doping. This is up to the fighters to make it better. Why would you want to get in the UFC when everyone is cheating anyway?”

Brock Lesnar Reportedly Tested Positive For Same Substance As Jon Jones

Those waiting to find out just what Brock Lesnar tested positive for in an out-of-competition test on June 28 and an in-competition test after his decision win over Mark Hunt at July 9’s UFC 200 may not have to wait long. Word has arrived from The Los Angeles Times’ Lance Pugmire that Lesnar reportedly tested

Word has arrived from The Los Angeles Times’ Lance Pugmire that Lesnar reportedly tested positive for clomiphene, ironically the same banned estrogen blocker that former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones tested positive for on June 16, causing a baffling cancellation of his awaited championship rematch with Daniel Cormier at UFC 200:

I'm told by an official with knowledge of Brock Lesnar's positive test that the substance is clomiphene, the same one found in @JonnyBones.

— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) July 19, 2016

UFC 200, hyped up as the greatest UFC event of all-time, is now appearing to be perhaps one of the biggest busts of all-time, and that’s in no small part due to the bad look that the hulking Lesnar has given them after receiving a pass from the usually required four-month window for un-retiring competitors under the UFC’s new random testing program with USADA.

The substance, clomiphene, has since come under intense focus in the media after it was revealed that Jones had tested positive for it along with another banned substance at yesterday’s (Mon., July 18, 2016) Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) hearing, where “Bones” was granted a temporary suspension until his official punishment is dealt.

As for Lesnar, well, the UFC rented him as a sort of ‘one-off’ from his normal post at WWE, where he’ll appear as part of the SummerSlam 2016 pay-per-view in just over a month. While he certainly brought eyeballs to screens, one has to wonder if the inititally proposed plans for UFC 200 wouldn’t have worked out better without the massive headache and hassle of Lesnar and Jones’ mounting drug test failures.

After all, all Conor McGregor did was refuse to attend a press conference.

Breaking: Brock Lesnar Failed In-Competition Drug Test At UFC 200

For Brock Lesnar fans hoping to see their favorite fighter exonerated, the going just got a bit rockier. News just arrived from the UFC that Lesnar, who was flagged for a potential USADA violation after he failed a June 28 out-of-competition, also failed an in-competition drug screen for the same substance after his unanimous decision

For Brock Lesnar fans hoping to see their favorite fighter exonerated, the going just got a bit rockier.

News just arrived from the UFC that Lesnar, who was flagged for a potential USADA violation after he failed a June 28 out-of-competition, also failed an in-competition drug screen for the same substance after his unanimous decision in over Mark Hunt in the co-main event of July 9’s UFC 200.

Read the UFC’s full statement here:

“The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Brock Lesnar that his in-competition sample collection from July 9, 2016, at UFC 200, has tested positive for the same substance as his previously announced out-of-competition collection on June 28, 2016.

“USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case. It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. The Nevada State Athletic Commission also retains jurisdiction over this matter as the sample collection was performed at UFC 200 in Las Vegas.

“Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.”

Former UFC heavyweight champion Lesnar had made a successful return to the world of MMA after four-and-half years away from the sport, beating fan favorite slugger Hunt heavily for the better part of three rounds at UFC 200.

But since news about his failed out-of-competition test broke last Friday (July 15, 2016), ‘The Super Samoan’ has been incredibly vocal about wanting half of Lesnar’s $2.5 million purse before asking for it all outright.

Overall, it’s jsut a terrible look for the UFC, who had their most hyped – and supposedly ‘biggest & baddest’ – card ever in UFC 200 absolutely ruined by its two main headliners testing positive for banned substances, and in an era when the UFC has spent millions and partnered with USADA to clean up the sport.

Lesnar is scheduled to appear for WWE at Summerslam on August 21, 2016.

With UFC Future Unclear, Brock Lesnar Remains Subject To USADA Testing

After five years away from the Octagon, former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made his highly-anticipated return to action in the co-main event of last weekend’s (July 9, 2016) UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada. Lesnar put on an impressive performance, scoring a somewhat dominant decision victory over legendary knockout artist Mark “The Super Samoan”

The post With UFC Future Unclear, Brock Lesnar Remains Subject To USADA Testing appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Despite launching himself back into the heavyweight top 10, Lesnar’s future with the UFC is currently unclear. At the UFC 200 post-fight press conference, “The Beast” left the door wide open for an Octagon return, but he’s also still under contract with the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). In fact, he’ll be competing for the professional wrestling organization later this summer at Summerslam.

Along with his WWE contract, however, Lesnar is indeed still under contract with the UFC according to a report from MMAFighting.com. With that being said, “The Beast” remains subject to USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) drug testing per company spokesperson Ryan Madden:

“To my knowledge, Brock Lesnar has not notified USADA of his retirement from the UFC,” Madden said. “Therefore, he remains subject to USADA testing and the UFC anti-doping policy.”

Prior to his bout with Hunt, Lesnar drew some criticism regarding drug testing, as he was granted an exception by the UFC. Typically when a fighter is making a return, he or she is subject to four months of drug testing before he or she can compete. Lesnar, however, announced his return just weeks before UFC 200 and was excused from this rule.

Despite the criticism, however, “The Beast” has never failed a drug test. His physique is simply unlike that of many others which has caused the masses to speculate on this matter. In the end, however, it appears as if Lesnar competing in the UFC again could be very possible.

If he indeed decides to stick around, who would you like to see the former champion face off with next?
