As former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar prepares himself for the biggest professional wrestling event of the year, his past drug test failure has come back to haunt him. Lesnar and his team of lawyers have already responded to Hunt’s lawsuit, however.
Lesnar will be stepping into the squared circle at Wrestlemania 33 to challenge Bill Goldberg for the WWE Universal Championship. Just a week before that takes place, however, Lesnar has been served by Mark Hunt’s lawyers with a lawsuit stemming from his drug test failure for “UFC 200” in June last year. Brock had failed two tests, one out of competition and one in-competition.
Lesnar was served on Thursday evening and his lawyers have already responded to Hunt’s lawsuit, denying allegations that he was involved in a conspiracy stemming from being popped for performance enhancing drugs at “UFC 200”, MMA Junkie now reports. Lesnar and his lawyers dressed down Hunt’s lawsuit in a thirty-page document, claiming the case “fails miserably, float[ing] on a sea of bombast”. They went on:
“Plaintiff’s complaint is so devoid of any facts to support his RICO and fraud claims that it would be almost impossible for Mr. Lesnar to respond.”
