Couldn't agree more with Hunt there, zero tolerance policy is whats required. Take their money off them then what have they got?
The USADA testing isn't reliable enough for a zero tolerance policy.
ur dead right buddy
fack ufc I'd like to see more fighters moving to Bellator
@Bernard Poindexterwtf no what about trt FUCKTARD
Everyone should be supporting Hunt here! Everyone gives out about the steroids and he's the only one standing up for himself!
BIG D good point! it's just the nature of fighting everyone trying to be alpha so people are pushed towards steroids!
hhhk20 so your just going to completely ignore the actual issue about Lersnar cheating on steroids and just insult mark?....good man! and of course hes athletic he's a former k1 champ and he fights in the ufc he just has Oceanic peoples genes they all looked heavy!
hhhk20 he had 3 weeks to prepare for that fight.
+Michael Devaney Why would fighters support Hunt, when everybody is on steroids. Cris Cyborg just has a doctors note to do steroid cycles openly. Mark is a whiner so nobody should support him, he should've retired 9 years ago. Also Brock would've beaten him regardless, steroids don't give you skills. That version of Mark wasn't going to beat anybody nor has he beat anyone convincingly since Roy Nelson perhaps, even then Roy is another joke. I don't even know Mark's last legit win. Half of his fights have been jokes. Pretty much his whole MMA career has been a joke.
Bikini Doll Steroids might not improve your skill but they definitely do improve levels of strength, aggression and recovery. PCP doesn't give you skills either but I wouldn't want to face someone off their head.
"There's a big ass elephant in the room and it's on steroids" 😂
Mark Hunt is an honorable person and fighter.
Dana White is on steroids.
Commando Master lmfao
Dana's mom said he is lol
Only his nipples are on steroids.
Mark Dena's mom is on steroids... They eat steroids for breakfast mate
Thats actually true.
SuperSamoan going Super Sayan
Josse Noynaert got super KO d
***** okay.
Mark Hunt is a courageous guy in and out of the ring. Whats wrong in asking for a fair fight.
A real sportsman . Mr.Hunt hats off to you my friend . Wish him well in all future endeavors .
if tyron woodley sees this he will be triggered by mark hunt calling himself black
ThatGreenHairGuy Well hes far from white right #thatsracist
ThatGreenHairGuy in NZ if you are a pacific islander or maori you're considered black
ThatGreenHairGuy L
and wonder boy would want to run it back
No he wouldn't because he respect him for being black and clean athlete . Dumb comment
The fertitta's bounced at the perfect time. It was a masterpiece.
Yeah man.Since then the UFC is going down hill.Since Conor we see only weird fights for the title,the real contenders don t get their well deserved chance to fight for the title, add to that the falling of Rousey...i don t like the direction the sport is going.
MASTERCLASS PERFORMANCE BY THE BILLIONAIRES. The last few ppvs did under 400,000 ppv buys do the math thats about 16 mill. plus a gate of about 2 million? looks like a long road to make that 4.2 billion back.
calin vasile nothing wrong with the direction of the company there's still good fights happening
Big Mark Hunt & Khabib fan, realest guys in the game today, or in fact, ever.
Mark Hunt is right. I respect his character for speaking up and not just falling in line.
I wonder how many of his K1 opponents were juiced??
a lot of them, hunt is nearing retirement and he wants to leave his mark.
Hunt is right. He's fighting a guy juiced up and the promo should take responsibility. These are guys who could kill with their arms and legs, giving them extra advantage is just wrong. Hunt deserves the compensation. Of course the UFC knew before booking the fight, they just hide it until the promo is done and all of this swept under the carpet
A rampant use of steroids, yet Nick Diaz is suspended for weed (more weed in his system than allowed)???....I dropped off the UFC Bandwagon when Johny Hendricks was robbed against GSP...
What's soo funny?
Hendricks was caught on roids so I always thought it was a win that he still took the L
Love the honesty of this guy LEGEND
"A big pink elephant in the room that has a lot of steroids in it." BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Glad someone finally has the balls to go up against the UFC
UFC is like any government just pure tyranny
Just imagine the scenes if Mark Hunt pops for steroids.
I would call conspiracy
Tower 7 all over again
Gooner11 don't say dumb things
@the magnificent creep
375 lb nfl linemen use steroids. overweight powerlifters use steroids. being fat has nothing to do with using steroids.
Gooner11 never ! Samoan natural beast!
A part of me wants Overeem to fail, just so Hunt goes crazy on Facebook.
Silva, Jones, Belfort, all steriod abusers still picking fights. Money talks Mark Hunt sadly, you've got to feel for clean guys like Hunt, Diaz, Bisping and others who've been repeatedly beaten by steroid abusers.
The Ajdam it seems doing the wrong thing gets you rewarded. While trying to do the right thing gets you trolled and made to be the bad guy. A warped society we live in.
It sucks to say this, but after watching this interview, I have a strong feeling they will cut Hunt if he loses (or even if he wins). And I think there is some intelligence to what Alistair said about how if he were in this situation, he'd handle it in private. When you're disparaging the company you work for in public and you're claiming it's illegitimate, I just don't think that's a good idea. Not saying Hunt shouldn't sue them or that he's in the wrong. He's not in the wrong. It's just not smart the way he's going about it.
Then again, maybe he wants to be cut. Who knows?
I can't tell you how much I love Mark Hunt. He's a bad MF and he only speaks from the heart and his over-right!
Man i feel bad for Mark, its so true he has done nothin wrong yet he's become the bad guy.
He risks his well being, i mean he fights heavyweights, those ppl can change your life with one punch, and all the UFC had to do was the right thing and give him Brock's purse.
marc hunt is awesome. I always thought he wasnt the brightest but he stands for something and has integrity. much respect
I agree with Mark. He fought Big Foot, Big Foot failed the drug test. He fought Mir, Mir failed the drug test. He fought Lesnar, Lesnar failed the drug test. Then he fought Overeem and Overeem has used the juice many times before. Mark had every right to be suspicious.
this guy is an absolute legend of the sport, we all listen when this guy talks.
It's not like he will beat everyone if they don't take steroids but it's just not fair.I don't know how anyone can think that Lesnar,Overeem,Romero,Lombard etc. don't abuse steroids.Respect for Hunt never dodge and still fighting at age of 42!
Super Samoan walk off KO on Dana at the weigh in please.
"someone gonna die soon" mark his words
It takes a strong fella to speak out in his work place and risk all
Love mark hunt
Hm it's just me or Mark doesn't look like nearly 43 years old? :D Overeem looks older :D
helion005 yeah Hunt looks good for a 43 year old man, he looks healty.
Lol he looks younger yeh, but alistair looks even more younger are u blind
You know what it really sucks for him ,but in the end it's the UFC and they could care less about the no name fighters not taking nothing from him I know Marks a legend I've been watching him since the K1 days but still can't believe it .he has a right to be MAD I hope you knock him out Mark
Hunt is a super duper warrior. It's great to hear him being chatty. Very cool guy, super tough man
after seeing this, i actually feel really sorry for mark hunt. he's 100% right and he's getting completely screwed over for it, and very few people care.
I like and respect Mark, he's right about putting a monetary penalty for cheaters. I hope Hunt it will be a shame if he's no longer fighting in the near future. I won't be watching much UFC anymore if they continue to lose fighters I respect.
My family have know Mark Hunt for 10 years and we consider him as family and I trained with him and he’s right every guy he fought were on steroids except for Fedor
i like the way he talks, honest.
The steroid era was by far the greatest in ufc... You had trt Vitor, trt Henderson, trt Liddell, trt errebody...
UFC Should allow steroids it would be much simpler that way... You wanna juice, pleaase proceed?
Fights would be much more entertaining true talk
when you really think about it the people who were on steroids were dominating and it's really crazy because the champions could be completely different
UFC becoming WWE. Mark Hunt is right and telling it like it is.
Mark I hope you get the payout you deserve brother..you are a warrior..Shame on Dana n the UFC
I actually do believe that overeem has at least mostly stopped roiding up. He was juiced for the longest time, ya, but his more recent fights and the way he’s built now is a good sign. He dropped some weight for a while there, too
He is real honest and humble fighter.
I love mark hunt. he is a true warrior inside and outside of ring.. he is legend in my book.
Win or lose, hunt is a real man
i'm still with you, hunt. keep fighting the ufc and get what you are owed.
Mark Hunt is right to be pissed. Unfortunately, business is business to the suits. Dana would see money over fighter fairness, so would the board and everyone other bighead in the UFC. I don't see the issue with giving Hunt the clause, at least give a hefty % of their wage to the opponent. They get cut 10-20% for missing weight, but won't for popping roids? Makes no sense.
I mean, the fact that they get 50k bonuses for fighting like warriors, but they'll pay a fighter as low as 5k/5k. Just shows it's about the value to the business more than their health or dignity. It makes total business sense, but not moral sense. Welcome to life I suppose.
Respect for Mark, he has a lot of integrity. I like Overeem he's charismatic and a talented fighter but he's probably not a guy you can trust.
I'm from Holland, I hope Overeem wins. But Hunt speaks some truth here. Big respect! True fighter.
I wish there was 2 divisions. Natural and Juice. I understand Mark's feelings, however my inner fan wants to see the biggest fastest strongest craziest compete. I want them to juice up until they are basically a street fighter alpha character and go in that cage to kill.
take so much roids you just transform into akuma
thats what this trash above me has done, taken so many roids his brain cannot tell reality from fiction.
ProtossBossSauce I said the same thing awhile back, unfortunately because of Roids being illegal here we probably won't have that anytime soon
Jossua Garcia did the crybaby who takes cartoonish quotes seriously start accosting you with dumb ass replies?
This has to be joe rogan using a fake account
All the "clean" fighters should be 100% behind Hunt on this, these cheaters are making a lot of money beating guys who are clean and its not fair. Brock will have made at least 10 million plus off the fight against Hunt knowing fine well he was jacked to the gills and that he was never going to fight again. He got fined a small percentage, way less than 10% when you count in all his sponsors and PPV money. Hunt deserves at least half of his money if not all of it IMO.
If he wins, I'll sue - Mark Hunt
Love you Mark Hunt, stand up for your rights.
I got money on Hunt because I believe in his power and love his personality. I hope he's focused on the fight though his mind seems to be everywhere else.
Always respected Mark for just saying it the way it is. Hope to God he knock out overeem and retires on top.
Completely agree with Hunt on most of these issues. A homerun in baseball, is a brain trauma in MMA. IMO the excuse that, "well everyone is doing it" sets a bad precedent, and people who argue for it are likely steroid-users themselves.
got to admire this man's honesty
Anyone caught using anabolic steroids or any PED in a combat sport should be banned for life in my opinion. Possession of anabolic steroids without a valid prescription is illegal in many states and countries so how come you don't hear of athletes being criminally prosecuted. I know Marion Jones was sentenced to 6 months but I believe that was for actually lying to federal investigators about her use of steroids rather than for actually taking them. A year in jail might be the incentive people need to stay clean.
cant wait to find a live stream of 209 for free somewhere on the internet, its not like these fighters get compensated based on PPV buys, 25k for potential brain damage for life while ufc makes upwards of 9 figures no way im supporting them anymore
I worry about Mark Hunts mentality going into this fight. The good thing for his is one clean shot and Overeem is unconscious. Not a good match up for Reem, a chinny fighter up against maybe the hardest hitter in the sport.
respect
I can`t rewatch this and not see Korg giving this interview.
People can say what they want, Mark Hunt was spot on here.. What do fighters get out of cheating, honestly, alright it best you might win a title but really when you're looking back on it, can you really say you won it.
slevinlindsay true!
if you read a little of this guy's book, you could be a fan of his forever
fact # 1 overeem has 1000 times more technique than hunt and is way more well rounded. no amount of steroids can do that
fact # 2 overeem was not on steroids for this fight and is evident by his physique, yet he totally dominated hunt
fact # 3 overeem > hunt all day
In a way. Hunt is a cheater too. He's got dem Samoan genetics!
everybody hating on mark hunt saying hes a yap and cry baby. i respect hunt he fought lesnar, bigfoot , overeem , all caught doping and still fought . goes along with his camp and brings everything hes got. also good guy. i get his frustration
Well he does have a point.. "hitting someone while your on roids"..
Cause mark is a true heavyweight most these other dudes needed the juice to compete
You are the man Mark.
hunt is right he got hung out to dry by Dana every one could see brock was on the juice probably the same stuff dana was using.
At the end of the day, the UFC is technically cleaner than most other sports now that it has USADA.
really hope Bruce Buffer announces him as, Mark "I'll sue you" Hunt
cant stand this guy now.
Why? Because he is calling those that cheats for cheaters? He is right and got the evidence to back it up.
Mark Hunt's a G.
legend, and a great bloke. facts are facts good on him.
"The belt's fulla steroids!"
Mark is the man respec him as a person and a fighter
I agree with everything he’s saying and as a life long natural martial artist I feel him but it’s a losing battle. Steroids hgh testosterone stem cells ect. are here to stay and not just in mma but in every sport in general.
Listening to Mark - he's won me around.
your a great guy Mark you got my respect mate hope ya get everything ya deserve !!!!
Scott Coker like " hello Mark Hunt"
He should probably sue him and the UFC. Or does he only do that when he loses?
So he sues the organization, implying that they knew he was on roids? Brock's a roided up freak, yeah, but there's no grounds for a lawsuit there.
because he failed a drug test BEFORE he went out to fight, the UFC decided to let him fight KNOWING he was juiced up.
That's just a flat-out lie Mr. Wilson. But who knows, you do seem like an insider that might've been there when they made that deal behind closed doors...foh.
WHITEowlMASSACRE That's actually not a flat out lie.
this isnt some conspiracy whiteowl. ufc hired usada to make sure no one cheats, but when brock gets caught the ufc is tries to play it off like nothing happened
Love the Samoan "E le kea (I don't care)"" attitude from Hunt. Typical uso hahaha.
Well spoken Mark. Funny and smart.
Hunt is getting more fans bashing cheaters than cheaters have gotten through success of using steroids. Hunt is gonna keep getting fights against world beaters win or lose against Overeem because of this though. Hopefully he ultimately wins against the UFC in the cage or in the courtroom.
Respect to mark!
Anyone caught pissing hot should lose their purse, win, lose or draw.
Mark hunt at 42 fighting guys yolk'd to the gills is a legit gripe
I really needs to not beat around bush, and learn how to express what he really thinks :D
Mark sounds like a stand up guy - it sucks that UFC/White do not police this crap
The man has snapped
Did he really just say, "does my black ass have to do something about it?" Interesting....
How so
Hunt is one of my top 5 favorite fighters in history
Mark popped for girl scout cookies.
you shook his hand tho
Wolf Tickets pure formalityt
Wolf Tickets its ok Marks hand were clammy
Mark made him reset and shake on HIS terms.
+LBhls Because trying to spread rumors about someone without evidence is really professional.
All your mom's are beautiful with hearts of gold, god bless all your moms
There is a serious doping culture problem in the UFC. When the owners, the ceo and the commentators are all on the roids it doesn't set the best example.
IMO Hunt sounds bitter at this point. Move forward Hunt ...
King.. Living legend
integrity personified! legend!
