Quote: Mark Hunt Should Come To UFC 200 ‘Juiced To The Gills’
The mixed martial arts (MMA) community hasn’t taken lightly to the UFC making an exception for Brock Lesnar in terms of his USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) drug testing requirements.
Lesnar will be coming out of retirement to make his return at July 9’s UFC 200 against Mark Hunt. Typically when a fighter comes out of retirement, he would have to let USADA know four months in advance so that he could be entered into the drug testing pool.
With the event being less than a month away, however, Lesnar was dismissed from this requirement. Given his insane physique, many have been rubbed the wrong way by the situation.
Retired UFC fighter Brendan Schaub recently spoke on the ‘fishy’ situation on an edition of his podcast:
“He (Lesnar) could have gotten off of them, and tailored off. Now he can fight and be clean. So I’m retired and let’s say they want me to fight; I have to give the drug testing sanction, body a four-month heads up like, ‘Hey, I am thinking about fighting.’ They will be like ‘Okay, you have four months where we are going to test you and you got to be clean.’ He skipped all of that and now he only has four weeks where they can test him. Does no one think this is fishy? Hey man, you can’t do that.”
Not only does Schaub think the situation is a bit strange, but he also feels as if Hunt should show up to UFC 200 ‘juiced to the gills’:
“”Mark Hunt should be able to take whatever he wants. Mark Hunt should come juiced to the gills and look like f**king Chong Li from Blood sport with traps from here to here. F**k you!”
In closing, Schaub once again claimed that Lesnar’s situation just seems a bit off:
“So maybe six months ago he told Dana, ‘Hey man I want to fight.’ And Dana was like, ‘Cool, well listen you know there is that four-month window.’ And he’ll say, ‘Okay, let’s see how we can work around this,’ If this doesn’t signal to every human being in the world that he’s probably on stuff.”
Are you worried that Lesnar has effectively worked the system?
