The initial result was that of a unanimous decision victory for the former heavyweight champion Lesnar. Shortly after, Lesnar had been notified that he had failed a drug test for Performance Enhancing Drugs thus turning his win into a no contest.<\/p>\n<p>Lesnar hasn&#8217;t fought in MMA since then but is planning on making his comeback which he&#8217;ll be eligible for in January. Upon his return and despite not officially having a win since 2010, he is expected to get an instant title shot against the current heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.<\/p>\n<p>Hunt recently spoke with <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kD7WgLROrk8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submission Radio<\/a>\u00a0about the unusual title fight.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cHow\u2019s that work? The motherf*cker\u2019s a cheater. How is that controversy? F*ckin&#8217; little c*nt is f*ckin&#8217; cheating, using steroids. F*ck, man, how is that&#8230;[you\u2019re] talking \u2018a little bit of controversy?\u2019 The f*cking guy is cheating.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He\u2019s cheating and trying to hurt me and you say, \u2018oh, we\u2019re going to be nice here\u2019. F*ck that cheater. How are you gonna be nice to the guy that is taking shortcuts, man? Don\u2019t give him that. Why would you want to give him that sort of sh*t? F*ck, they don\u2019t deserve it. You know, all these guys are just shortcut takers, and to me, that\u2019s all they\u2019ll ever be. Nothing else.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Like I said, I didn\u2019t want a lawsuit or a court case against any of these [guys]. I said to Dana [White] already about the sh*t, you know, take that motherf*cker\u2019s money off him. Don\u2019t give it to me, just take it off the c*nt so he doesn\u2019t get nothing. But he wouldn\u2019t have it, so that\u2019s why we\u2019re here now. And with this lawsuit, all I\u2019ve been trying to do is make it an even playing field. It\u2019s not even these guys, these guys are cheating flat out and they\u2019re still getting these opportunities. Why? Honestly?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As for Hunt himself, he is still competing and trying to stay active. In fact, he faces off against top Russian contender Alexei Oleynik this Saturday in the main event of the UFC&#8217;s first trip to Russia for UFC Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>But at age 44 Hunt realizes that his storied career is winding down and it may come sooner rather than later. At least in the UFC.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cAfter this match, I said to [my manager] Zen [Ginnen] if I can get a match on the Adelaide card [in December] or anywhere or get another match as soon as possible if I\u2019m not injured and then go from there.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I [would] get to fight the same card as Tai [Tuivasa] on the undercard also. It\u2019d be great. It\u2019d be a good send off. It would be me and Dan [Kelly\u2019s] retirement fight, which is great, you know, fighting at home.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It would be my last fight with the UFC. So, it\u2019d be great. I don\u2019t know about retiring per se. It\u2019d be finishing from the big time. And, you know, I wanna fight three more times globally or four. We\u2019ll see what happens for the division and chasing [the belt]. That cut that dream off. So, you know, that\u2019s how it works, but who knows? Maybe [I\u2019ll] retire with Dan Kelly. It\u2019d be fun *laughs*\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The UFC returns to Australia on December 2 for UFC Adelaide. Win or lose, if he&#8217;s able to come out unscathed against Oleynik, Hunt very well could get his wish.<\/p>\n<p>Hunt&#8217;s last fight came in February in a home game against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 221. Despite some early success, Hunt couldn&#8217;t close the show as Blaydes utilized his superior wrestling on route to a unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n<p>But as for Hunt&#8217;s next opponent in the Russian submission specialist, Hunt is happy with the matchup.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWell, I didn\u2019t know much about Aleksei. He did call me out a while ago. I have met him a couple of times, he\u2019s actually a nice guy. I know about his Ezekiel choke. You know, we worked on that, on everything. On my fighting, my guard, my stand-up. So like I said, evolution makes you a better person. If you don\u2019t learn from the same mistakes or someone else\u2019s, then you\u2019re still gonna be losing. So, I look forward to dancing with Aleksei. He\u2019s a nice guy.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 9\/11\/2018<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to Brock Lesnar and people that have been busted for cheating, the &#8216;Super Samoan&#8217; Mark Hunt is never shy about sharing how he feels.
