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].
