Mark Hunt Says Brock Lesnar’s A Hypocrite For Criticizing Jon Jones
In an interview with MMA Fighting, Mark Hunt claimed that Brock Lesnar is a hypocrite for calling Jon Jones “unprofessional” for failing a drug test prior to UFC 200. Here are highlights:
On Brock’s comments about Jones: “It just makes me laugh, because that’s how he won his world title. He stuck a needle in his poo-shoot and that’s how he won his title. People say, ‘oh Mark, it doesn’t help you.’ Well then if it doesn’t help you, why do it? You’re that scared of losing? I mean, shucks, it’s funny that one cheater calls out another cheater, says ‘oh man, that’s really unprofessional.’ What the hell does that make you? He’s a f*cking hypocrite, and the sad thing about it is these companies are not doing anything about it. Me saying these things, trying to form a union, all of this, at the end of the day we’ve all got to make sacrifices, and my [career] is coming up to the end soon. I don’t give a rat’s ass about working in the UFC anymore because they don’t do anything about. They don’t do nothing about it. So all of these kids listening to this, watching this, you’re wasting your time trying to get into these companies because they don’t give a rat’s about you. They’ll just throw you under the bus.”
On threatening legal action if UFC doesn’t take a harsher stance against Lesnar: “Assuming someone is on the gear and getting told that this is a fair sport is totally different than knowing. I’m always going to say I’m going to knock someone out. I don’t care if he’s doing this or that, I’ll knock your face off. I say it all the time, I don’t give a rat’s. And then … everyone throws me under the bus? Well you know what, mother*ckers? F*ck you. You can all kiss my ass. These f*cking cheaters should f*cking go and die. Die in a fire.”
On what the UFC has done: “I reached out to Dana (White), I’ve asked what’s going on. And you know, they’re not doing a damn thing,” Hunt said. “And the sad thing about it, like I said, is I’m asking because this is not just a first offense. This is the third time I’ve had to (fight someone who pops in a drug test). To be honest about the fight, I’m not even sore about the (Lesnar) loss. Every loss I take, I’ve accepted and I move on. With that loss, it was just one of those things. I gave credit to Brock after the fight when I lost, but when I found out this sh*t, there was nothing special about him. At the end of the day he out-wrestled me and put me down and won the fight. I have no problem with that. But if you did it by cheating, then you shouldn’t get any praises or anything. They even gave him my spot, my No. 8 spot. I mean, shucks, you’re going to give a cheater a f*cking spot? It’s ridiculous. What the hell? There’s nothing special about him. For someone who is using so much gear, there’s no way he could even finish me? If I was gearing like him, his head would’ve come off. I would’ve punched his head through the whole freaking Octagon. This is ridiculous.”
