Exclamation Heavyweight MARK HUNT Parts Ways With The UFC



It looks like the UFC is parting ways with heavyweight fighter Mark Hunt [13-14-1-1 MMA, 8-8-1-1 UFC] following his unanimous
decision loss to Justin Willis [8-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC] at last night's UFC Fight Night 142. This was the last fight in Hunt's UFC contract,
and it looks like both he and the UFC are more than ready to part ways with one another.


Hunt is still in litigation with the UFC after suing them for racketeering, conspiracy to commit crime related to racketeering, fraud,
false pretenses, breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligence and unjust enrichment after fellow
UFC fighter and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar [5-3-0-1 MMA, 4-3-0-1 UFC] tested positive for illegal
performance enhancing drugs in his fight against Hunt at UFC 200 in July of 2016. The UFC knew of the illegal drug use before
the fight, but failed to disclose it.


Hunt is 44 years old and has been fighting professionally in combat sports since 1998. Along with MMA, he is also a professional
boxer [0-1-1] and kickboxer [30-13].
