Mark Hunt reveals desired opponent and even a location for the next/final UFC fight of his pro-MMA career. This shouldn’t be a shocker to those fight fans who have followed his career over the last two years.

As seen in the main event of UFC Moscow (also known as UFC Fight Night 136) that took place on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at Olimpiyskiy Arena in Moscow, Russia, Aleksei Oleinik was able to secure a first round submission win over the UFC Veteran.

Hunt has gone 1-3-1 in his last five bouts including suffering losses to Brock Lesnar, which was later ruled a no-contest, Alistair Overeem, and Curtis Blaydes while his only victory coming over Derrick Lewis last June in New Zealand.

Hunt has fought some of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport including former champion Frank Mir, Derrick Lewis and Roy Nelson throughout his tenure with the promotion.

There has been a major issue between Hunt and the UFC, which dates back to his fight against Lesnar. Hunt is the last man to have fought Lesnar in the Octagon at UFC 200 in 2016. This marked Lesnar’s return to MMA after an almost five-year retirement.

As seen in the fight, Lesnar won a unanimous decision that night which was subsequently overturned when it was revealed he failed two USADA issued drug tests before the bout. This led to Hunt filing a civil suit against Lesnar and the UFC to settle his grievances.

Following UFC Moscow, Hunt revealed who he would like to fight next and where the fight should be held.

“I love working for the UFC, but we have issues,” Hunt told reporters, including MMAjunkie, post-fight. “I’ve got one more fight left, and I’m trying to get on the Adelaide card [t UFC Fight Night 142, which takes place Dec. 1] with Tai (Tuivasa) and the boys. One last hurrah for the old guy.”

“I trained a lot of stuff for the ground, of course, but I got caught with a sub,” Hunt said. “That’s the way it works in this business.”

Michael Bisping On Mark Hunt’s Side After USADA Rant

The post Michael Bisping On Mark Hunt’s Side After USADA Rant appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC heavyweight contender Mark Hunt is in a state of disarray at present. After losing a decision to Brock Lesnar at UFC 200, we learned ‘The Super Samoan’ had once again faced a fighter who could not get by the USADA (United States Anti Doping Agency) drug tests. News emerged that Lesnar had not only failed a pre-fight drug test, but also a dope screen conducted on the night of the July 9 event had come back positive for banned substance Clomiphene.

The reason for the anti-estrogen being found in Lesnar’s sample is yet to be addressed by the promotion or the WWE superstar in public. To this day Hunt says he’s not heard anything from UFC president Dana White, and that’s ed to a number of scathing statements from the disgruntled 42-year old Pride FC veteran. Hunt first demanded Lesnar hand over his record-breaking $2.5 million purse from UFC 200, only to be shut down when the promotion revealed they would not fine Lesnar.

brock-lesnar-mark-hunt-ufc-2001[1] — Brock Lesnar has his hand raised against Mark Hunt at UFC 200 on July 9, 2016…

‘The Super Samoan’ would go on the offensive against his employers and also USADA, blasting both parties for not presenting enough of a deterrent for drug cheats in MMA. He made some rather shocking accusations towards the UFC, none of which have been responded to, and publicly called for fighter to join his union.

Hunt’s points included questions regarding fighters safety against those using steroids, Lesnar’s two-year ban essentially being irrelevant now he’s pocketed the literal boat load of money, and also the possibility of criminal charges for fighters who are juicing.

Michael Bisping Supports Mark Hunt

One man who knows a lot about being the clean athlete taking on a division rampant with steroids is current UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping. His new-found success since the USADA era started is perhaps a sign of things to come for combat sports as a whole. Not surprisingly ‘The Count’ is sympathetic to Hunt’s plight.

We clean athletes can get fed up with the bullshit from time to time. https://t.co/NOWndYseTn

Bisping’s long history of fighting against competitors who would later go on to fail drug tests is eerily similar to Hunt’s recent run of opponents. Still to say the promotion is truly any closer to eradicating steroid cheats would be exaggerating greatly. Sure, they are catching a whole lot more, but these guys and girls are still trying their luck.

Mark Hunt will need as much support as he can get in unionizing the athletes of the UFC, and the middleweight champion Michael Bisping is a good start. The real question is how many fighters are actually likely to sack up and stand behind Hunt when push becomes shove?

Mark Hunt Gets Tested By USADA & Goes Berserk At Them

The post Mark Hunt Gets Tested By USADA & Goes Berserk At Them appeared first on LowKick MMA.

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”

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.

Junior dos Santos Calls Out Brock Lesnar After UFC 200

The post Junior dos Santos Calls Out Brock Lesnar After UFC 200 appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made a successful return to the octagon at UFC 200 last night (Saturday July 9, 2016) and it was against stacked odds. Facing former K-1 champion and the consensus hardest puncher in mixed martial arts today in Mark Hunt, Lesnar had quite the mountain to climb on the historic card in Las Vegas. If there’s one thing we all know by now it’s that odds are little more than numbers on paper, and sometimes size and strength is what’s needed to win a fight.

‘The Beast’ returned on the anniversary of his infamous UFC 100 bout with Frank Mir determined to win, and managed to sack ‘The Super Samoan’ for the most part of their fight. Taking a clean sweep of 29-27 from all three judges after the dust had settled, Lesnar’s big comeback was perhaps not as ill fated as many of us had predicted.

Although the fight was deemed a ‘one off’ opportunity by the WWE, it’s clear that they and the UFC have a good thing going right now. The pro wrestling’s online network heavily advertised the UFC this week, and in turn the UFC aired promos for the WWE during their broadcast last night. What’s to say that another MMA fight isn’t on the horizon for Brock Lesnar?

One potential opponent and fellow former heavyweight boss Junior dos Santos threw his name in the hat during the aftermath of Lesnar’s decision win over Hunt. Check out what ‘Cigano’ posted on Twitter:

Congratulations on your victory Brock.

CAN I SEE YOU NOW?

— Junior Dos Santos (@junior_cigano) July 10, 2016

After serving as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter Season 3, Lesnar and ‘JDS’ were scheduled to meet at UFC 131. When diverticulitis struck the WWE superstar Shane Carwin stepped in and took a harrowing beating from dos Santos. If there is hope of another Brock Lesnar UFC fight, or even a run at the title, would a fight with ‘Cigano’ be plausible?

Mark Hunt & Miesha Tate Make Last-Minute UFC 200 Predictions

The post Mark Hunt & Miesha Tate Make Last-Minute UFC 200 Predictions appeared first on LowKick MMA.

It’s finally here, after months of hype and drawn out anticipation, UFC 200 fight day has arrived. What a crazy night of fights we have to look forward to, as Las Vegas is buzzing and all the talking is very nearly done. In the main event of the evening we have ~~Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier~~ ~~Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt~~ Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes following a highly unexpected mid-week shuffle. It was announced Wednesday (July 6) that ‘Bones’ had failed a drug test and was to be removed from the landmark #200 pay-per-view card.

The heavyweight collision between Mark Hunt and Brock Lesnar was temporarily moved up to the main event slot, before Tate vs. Nunes sent them packing back to the second fiddle fight. So the most historic card in UFC history is lead in to the July 9 spotlight, after an insane fight week packed with three events, by the women’s bantamweight championship bout. Can anyone else smell a trilogy maker with Ronda Rousey here?

‘Cupcake’ faces a very fierce contender in Amanda Nunes, but does she offer anything more difficult to deal with than Holly Holm? ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ is a world class boxer and kickboxer, and Tate was able to avoid the devastating power and choke Holm out cold at UFC 195. The same could potentially be said about Mark Hunt vs. Brock Lesnar, although the former heavyweight champion is a huge man with explosive power.

‘The Super Samoan’ spoke with Fight Network in a last-minute interview last night, saying he still plans on knocking Lesnar out, even though he feels the drug testing may have been a bit loose around the WWE star:
“He’s a big guy, I’m not even sure how he made 265 pounds. Did they drug test him? He’s a beginner to me, I still plan on knocking him out.”

As usual, Mark Hunt with not a great deal to say, but the knowledge that his powerful fists can do that for him. During her weigh-ins interview with Joe Rogan, Tate declared she plans on removing part of Nunes’ body on fight night, but rest easy, she only meant her heart:
