Mark Hunt threatens another lawsuit after fight removal, curses 'bald-headed prick' Dana White

[nuraknu]

Mark Hunt is furious about his removal from the UFC Fight Night 121 main event and said he plans on taking action toward the UFC and company president Dana White.

New broke on Tuesday that Hunt (13-11-1 MMA, 8-5-1 UFC) had been pulled from his scheduled UFC Fight Night 121 headliner with Marcin Tybura (16-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) due to “medical concerns”stemming from recent statements about brain trauma sustained during his career. He’s been replaced by Fabricio Werdum (22-7-1 MMA, 10-4 UFC)...

When you come out and say you're slurring words and having memory issues, it pretty much forces the promoter to cancel a fight to cover their own asses.

This is likely a move they had to make in response to the suit against Brock lesnar, And what would be considered a good faith measure in the eyes of the court by the UFC I would imagine.

Mark is such a dummy. If the UFC did let him fight, he could/would sue them LETTING him fight. Idiot.

I love his honesty...nobody talks smack to danus like hunt.

Say what you want about mark and his antics, but thousands of fighters are smiling when Hunt goes off on Egg.

Fist pumps and smiles abound

I'm voting with my $.
Not attending this event now.
My ticket loss might bankrupt them, so apologies in advance.

Wasnt he just complaining about injuries. I feel like hes always bitching yet hes like 12-12 and makes over 500k a fight

 

[tang]

makes over 500k a fight

He comes to fight all the time, looking to KO not play safe and people tune into his fights. Also has one of the deepest fan bases ever since Pride, K1, 500k sounds reasonable. Do you not watch Hunt fights?

Are we sure that Mark isn't American?

He certainly seems to be as litigious as an American is.

I wish every fighter would talk to Uncle Fester like this.

But legally, just because he said he has memory loss in some random interview, isn't enough of a reason to be able to prevent him from fighting.
Doctor cleared him for his last fight, which is what counts

I was going to say, it all works out in his favor (well, not the part about actually having brain damage). The UFC is now in the position of having to argue that Hunt does have brain damage, which helps his case against them regarding Brock Lesnar.

BUT, if Hunt is arguing based on medical examinations that he's fine, then it helps the UFC in the end. I would think.

If he passed his medical and they won't let him fight that's grounds to get out of his contract I would think.

Couldn't agree more.

Doctors clear guys with all kinds of injuries when they shouldnt be. Shit tito fought with a cracked skull and broken neck

If someone is complaining of CTE or concussion symptoms prior to a fight and they get hurt thats a bigger problem so imo its better to error on the side of caution when it comes to fighter safety.

 

[Robbie Hart]

There is nothing he can do. He’s going to waste a lot of money and get fuck all from the fukwit

He should be reimbursed for money spent on his camp at the least

No, because I want to see him get more angry and physically assault Dana

If Tito is to be believed every single fight ever he fought with some sort of life threatening injury.

The Peoples Champ always performed for the fans with all his limbs held on by sticky tape. Just hpoe they thank him for doing it.

Not the people's champ, but in wrestling edge had some scans, revealed some damage, fought WrestleMania, had more scans on the Monday , and had to end his career right there. Dude was fucked.

Judge: "Mr. Hunt, you publicly stated that you suffered from memory loss, slurred your words occasionally and would not be opposed to die during one of your fights."
Hunt: "I didn't say that! (at least I don't remember saying it)"

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

I'm really curious to see if he was pulled "to undergo additional testing" or what the deal is.
