Mark Hunt got good news regarding his lawsuit against the UFC, Dana White and Brock Lesnar recently.

Last week, the suit survived a motion to dismiss by the defendants and Thursday Hunt’s attorneys filed an amended complaint in U.S. District Court (District of Nevada). Hunt is alleging the UFC, White and Lesnar committed racketeering, fraud, battery and civil conspiracy with regards to Lesnar’s failed drug test at UFC 200.

In the amended complaint, obtained by MMA Fighting, Hunt claims that the UFC, White and Lesnar knew Lesnar was using performance-enhancing drugs ahead of his UFC 200 bout with Hunt, cleared the way for Lesnar to get by USADA and then let him fight anyway. It further claims that Hunt was damaged both financially and physically by what attorneys have alleged was a criminal conspiracy.

I hope something comes of this. Dana knew what was up & flat out bullshitted Hunt in those text messages. Too much of that has gone on throughout the years...lies, disrespect, manipulation, lack of professionalism.

GREAT news.
I hope Dana ends up putting snow in Hunt's driveway.
