Hunt says Lesnar is 'juiced to the gills'

[Wild]

Mark Hunt doesn't mince words.

Speaking with Fox Sports Australia, Hunt discussed his UFC 200 opponent, Brock Lesnar – and his sentiments were none too complimentary.

"I think he’s juiced to the gills — and I still think I’m going to knock him out," Hunt said.

Normally, an athlete entering the UFC ranks needs to give four months notice to assimilate to the company's anti-doping program. Lesnar, who will fight July 9, was not able to give a heads-up four months in advance of his contest due to the short-notice nature of his return.

The UFC, however, exercised an exemption, allowing Lesnar to compete despite the one-month notice.

"I don’t think that’s fair. I think it’s load of bulls***, I think it’s rubbish," Hunt said. "I don’t think anyone should be exempt from testing. If they’re trying to clean the sport up — mixed martial arts — this is a bad way to do it. I don’t care who you are. It’s ridiculous."

Hunt wasn't just airing his grievances to reporters, though. According to the 42-year-old-heavyweight, UFC President Dana White is well aware of his feelings, too.

"I’ve already voiced my opinion to Dana about it but apparently he (Lesnar) has been getting tested but he’s probably been off a couple of cycles anyway," Hunt said.

Id say hes pretty close to being accurate.

This is not surprising. Man, I've said it before, you don't want to be poking the bear unless the bear has given you "permission".....

 

[BJJMMA]

Does anyone not agree that Lesnar isn't obviously juiced to the gills?

Doesn't matter though. Hunt is going to drop him in round 1.

 

[Sweets]

Mark Hunt isn't wrong.

One thing I do know is, Mark Hunt is not juiced to the gills.

 

[Yossarian]

Let's just say, Brock and Romero go to the same GNC store.

 

[Robbie Hart]

How do you know that?

Brock has been tested in NCAA, NFL and UFC and never failed a single test so you would think he might have some benefit of the doubt, but no, of course he's juiced to the gills just based on appearance, meanwhile the same critics have nothing to say about their heroes who fought in Pride, land of the juiceheads.

you mean hunt?

Screen name bet?

Screen name bet?

Im asking you a question, if you meant hunt instead of brock. If not, what did brock do to disrespect anyone? If anything, isn't it hunt disrespecting brock here?

I think that's because it's just assumed most of them were on it and knew they weren't going to get tested, it a wash as they all had the same knowledge going in so fair game.

@Enson67 made a portion of his contract public a while back

As you can see above, recreational drugs were tested for, but 'performance enhancing stimulants of (the) steroid based family' were 'specifically excluded from the scope of the test'.

In layman's terms, they weren't looking for any steroids. So in theory, a fighter could use them without having to worry about being caught. It doesn't say that steroids are fine and that fighters should use them, but what you see above is about as far away from a deterrent to using performance enhancing drugs as you can find.

It pains me to say, Brock is gonna win this one.

Pride was an even playing field. Everyone was juiced. It was a different time and different expectations. My opinion is that many people still juice, but back then if you weren't juiced you probably weren't in the big leagues.

dont do this to me man. lol

good post, but people still disrespecting the beast incarnate that is......BROCK. LESNAR.

Gilled to the juice imo

I see your point. People still hating on lesnar cause they think he cycled off steroids during the previous 4 months. I give him the benefit of the doubt cause he has never been caught and he's been competing in the big leagues for decades.

Let's not forget Hunt tapped to McCorckle. Lesnar is going to take Hunt down with absolute ease and do whatever he wants. Hunt basically gets one shot. He has to KO him running in.
