Mark Hunt Goes In On Brock Lesnar Following Potential Doping Violation

Last week Brock Lesnar made his triumphant return to the UFC, defeating Mark Hunt by decision at the milestone event UFC 200.

It was the 39-year-old's first fight in nearly five years, but he convincingly saw off his opponent.

It was revealed last night that Brock has been flagged by the United States Anti-Doping Agency for a potential doping violation.

Mark Hunt has now responded to the news, labeling Brock a 'fucking cheat'.

"I said [to the UFC], 'If you don't give me half his shit, I'm walking away from this company, I want out of here. This is rubbish'," Hunt told Fox Sports. "You [UFC] better do something."

He continued: "I already talked to the bosses. They better do something or I want out of here, I want a release from my contract. You guys are just making a mockery out of us, you're making a fool out of me, you make me look like an idiot.

"I lost on that night to some fucking cheat. There's no way he could weigh 265 pounds like me - he was about 500 kilos, there was no fucking way he was weighing in at my weight.

"It just makes a mockery of the whole sport, it makes a fool out of all of us, all the people who've paid money for top end fighting - now all they've got is a cheat against a guy who doesn't cheat."

Hunt is understandably furious at the news, claiming he could have been injured in the fight. He also believes that the money Brock earned from the fight should be split with him, or given to the people who paid to be at the event.

He said: "I'm lucky I didn't get injured. I think it's rubbish. I think all of his shit should be taken off him. There's no penalties or deterrents to guys that are cheating. This is not the first time, this is the third time I've had to fight someone doping.

"I think he should either forfeit his purse or refund all the fucking money to people who paid to watch it.

"Half of his purse should come to me - maybe all of it. The guy shouldn't get a cent. That, or refund everyone that paid money. They paid for an even playing field - they didn't get that. They got a cheater against a guy not cheating."

If Lesnar's 'B' sample comes back positive, the 39-year-old could face a ban of up to two years.
