That guy is the best. One of the best fighters in the world, but he\u2019s a cheater. Just like Brock Lesnar, you\u2019re all a pack of frickin\u2019 dog cheats, that\u2019s all you are. Nothing else. So, now the two f-king biggest cheaters in the world are going to fight? Oh, f-k. I\u2019m not going to waste my money watching these two cheaters fight. Why would I? They\u2019re cheaters, in the end. That\u2019s basically all they are. They should get nothing! I used to respect Jon Jones before this but I don\u2019t respect him after this. When you get caught for doping \u2014and he got caught for the same dope that Lesnar did \u2014 he\u2019s not a martial artist, none of them are. They get no respect from me. None. I wouldn\u2019t want to waste my f-king time watching that s-t!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c[Daniel Cormier] should get all of Jones\u2019 money,\u201d Hunt said in a subsequent Instagram post. \u201cAnd your a betch Jones.
