Mark Hunt and the UFC have not always been on the best of terms. After suffering a defeat to Brock Lesnar, Hunt elected to sue the mixed martial arts promotion for permitting Lesnar to exempt a required four-month drug testing window concerning the fight. Lesnar, of course, failed a drug test, leading to Hunt’s legal action.
Responding to the recent news of his removal from UFC Fight Night 121, Hunt threatened UFC President Dana White with another lawsuit.
“@danawhite u peice of shit motherfuker why u fuckers pull me from the fight u getting another lawsuit u fuckwit u can kiss my ass u bald headed prick u put that chicken shit bitch in get fucked cocksucker”
UFC Fight Night 121 goes down Nov. 18 in Sydney, Australia.
