Mark Hunt har valt att stämma UFC och Brock Lesnar, efter det att Lesnar testat positivt inför deras match under UFC 200. Hunt tycker nämligen inte att Lesnars böter på 240 000 dollar (ca: 2,3 miljoner kr) ens är i närheten av rimlig, och detta hade hans advokat Christina Denning att säga om det hela via ”MMAJunkie”:
There’s nothing deterring Brock Lesnar from doping, getting $5 million-plus from pay-per-view and the purse, and just turning around to pay a nominal fraction of that when they have no desire to come back to the UFC, anyway. The avenue to punish Brock is there. It’s just not being executed by the UFC, which is a problem, because this is what happens in every situation.
We’re not making any allegations as to (which defendant is more responsible than the other). We just want a bunch of money based on what the statutes allow us. There’s punitive damages at issue here sufficient to punish the UFC, and the UFC has a lot of money.
If you’re suing somebody for fraud and punitive damages, and they only make $100,000 a year, the jury is not going to award that much in damages. But when you’re the UFC and the jury sits and hears about how awful and how egregious the pattern of conduct was leading up to UFC 200 and going back to prior fights, knowing how much the UFC’s worth, they can award an amount sufficient to deter future conduct.
He was in on this. He’s coming from the WWE – he’s on steroids – and he can’t sign up officially with the UFC in March, because he’s going to be dumped into this program for doping and he’s going to fail. He talks about how big he is and how much money he’s going to make on this. He is purposely conspiring to circumvent doping regulations.
Brock besegrade Mark via ett enhälligt domslut, men efter det positiva dopningsresultatet ändrades matchresultatet till en ”No Contest”. Härnäst ser vi Hunt ta sig an ingen mindre än Alistair Overeem, då de möts under UFC 209 den 4 mars.
