Mark Hunt Says He Won’t Watch “Cheaters Fight”
Heavyweight fighter Mark Hunt is currently in the midst of a lawsuit against the UFC and former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.
When it comes to the potential super fight between Lesnar and UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones, the heavyweight knockout artist will refuse to watch a “cheater's fight.”
“Look at these f**kers. You’ve got Jon Jones, for instance. That guy is the best, one of the best fighters in the world but he’s a cheater. . . Just like Brock Lesnar, you’re all a pack of frickin’ dog cheats, that’s all you are. Nothing else. So now the two f**king biggest cheaters in the world are going to fight! Oh f**k. . . I’m not gonna waste my money watching two cheaters fight. Why would I? They’re cheaters, in the end. That’s basically all they are. They should get nothing. I used to respect Jon Jones before this but I don’t respect him after this. When you get caught for doping, and he got caught for the same dope that Lesnar did, you shouldn’t – he’s not a martial artist, none of them are. They get no respect from me. None. I wouldn’t want to waste my f**king time watching that s**t,” Hunt said on Real Quick With Mike Swick.
While Hunt has never fought Jones, the fighter has competed against Lesnar at UFC 200 in a fight that would be turned into a no contest after Lesnar failed a drug test.
Hunt also wants the fighters that he has labeled cheaters to know that their cheating ways are nothing to be proud of.
“Cheating is nothing to be proud of. That’s the wrong message. We don’t allow that as a society so why do we allow that, especially in fighting? Fighting is you hurting people,” says Hunt.
It should be noted that a potential Jones/Lesnar fight could only take place after Lesnar finishes serving his one year suspension from USADA.
