Mark Hunt Thinks You Have to Take Away Financial Incentive to Stop PED Use

Mark Hunt discussed his win in the main event at UFC Fight Night 110 in the post-fight press conference for the event (via MMAjunkie). In the main event, Hunt defeated Derrick Lewis by TKO in the fourth round. Below are some highlights from the presser.

Hunt on retirement: “I don’t think so. I like to get beat up. Shucks, there’s nothing else I’m good at. But I’ve got a couple of fights I want to finish. Why not see the contract out and then retire?”

Hunt on having a few more fights left: “I’ve only got a few more fights left, so for me, if it ended here tonight, so be it. I’ve had a good run. I’ve had a lot of fun, traveled the world. But it looks like it’s still continuing.”

His thoughts on Overeem: “He’s always going to be a cheating bum to me, regardless of whether he beat me. All of his achievements, you don’t know whether they’re done by steroids or not. Sorry, Alistair, you’re a cheat.”

Hunt on how to deal with steroids: “I think taking away the financial gains to start with. People say for me, it’s just a money grab. I think if you take away the financial incentive, then the cheaters will think twice. You take away the money, they wouldn’t do it. It’s just a clause in the contract saying the cheater doesn’t benefit at all. Because right now, it pays to cheat.”
