UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt has absolutely unleashed on the UFC and Brock Lesnar in an interview with The MMA Hour, telling the promotion and Lesnar himself to “go and die, die in a fire.”
The fiery Australian-based Samoan lost to the WWE star at the controversial UFC 200 event in Las Vegas 3 weeks ago, an event that was already marred by a Jon Jones positive drug test just days before the card got underway.
Losing by unanimous decision, Hunt was gracious in defeat during post fight interviews, right up until USADA announced that Lesnar had brought back a positive pre-fight test. Then the floodgates opened.
In what could be lightly described as a slightly disappointed attitude towards the revelation, Hunt has not only thrown caution to the wind, but he’s slammed it into the turf, run over it with his lawnmower, then thrown it off a bridge in spectacular fashion.
Although he’s sent a few shots around in the last fortnight, his phone interview with The MMA Hour has topped the lot.
“Let’s throw this motherf***er, this stupid f***ing Samoan under the bus and let him get embarrassed in front of the whole world”, he kicked off with.
“Then we’ll let this f***ing white piece of s**t [Lesnar] f***ing stick needles in his ass and say, ‘Oh, we’ll let him cheat all the way to the f***ing bank’. Let’s give him f***ing millions of dollars and not worry about this motherf***er.”
“You know what? F*** that and f*** your s**t company. Look at that for a contract. You can sue me on that, motherf***ers.”
His lack of caring shined through the entire interview, almost coming to terms that he may not have a job after this.
“Well, f*ck the company. They don’t give a sh*t about you or anyone else. If I walk away now, I don’t care. I walk away knowing that I haven’t cheated to get in this spot.”
An emotionally charged Hunt was furious about the whole thing, claiming he should be given at least 50% of Lesnar’s record-breaking $2.5 million purse from the event, if not all of it.
He didn’t hold back on his employer either, showing them as much of the same treatment he gave Lesnar. Even saying that the UFC don’t give punishments for fighters “sticking needles up their bum holes.”
“I’ll go and work somewhere else,” Hunt said. “I don’t give a s**t. F*** the UFC. You’re s**t. You motherf***ers don’t look after nobody.”
He suspected Lesnar’s doping before the fight even took place, stating a couple of times that he thought the former heavyweight champ was “juiced to the gills.”
“That’s corrupt s**t, man. These motherf***ers should be penalised hard. Dirty, scummy, cheating scum. That’s how that monkey won his world title. He didn’t do it by doing it clean. He did it by cheating, just like the rest of these cheaters.”
This is the third instance in Hunt’s career that he’s battled an ‘illegal’ fighter that has tested positive after the bout.
“I didn’t say anything when I beat the other two guys who I fought who were cheating, and probably the rest of the other cheaters that I fought, but at the end of the day, enough is enough.”
In a cheeky little pot shot, Lesnar is even copping it from his fellow WWE wrestlers. On Monday (AEST), the WWE Battleground Pay-Per-View was held, with Lesnar’s next opponent Randy Orton being interviewed during the show.
During the segment, Orton remarked that he didn’t care if he was thrown all around the ring by Lesnar, because he can beat him with one RKO (Orton’s finishing move) with “no enhancements needed”, in what has since been reported as an unscripted comment.
Lesnar and the UFC are still yet to respond to any of Hunt’s comments.
