Mark Hunt He doesn't have a good time away from MMA. After being ordered to bear the legal costs brought against the UFC in the amount of US$388,235 (approximately R$2,170 million), the heavyweight (up to 120,2kg) denied that he would pay the amount and tried to challenge, publicly, Dana White. Additionally, he also fired shots at the organization's brothers and former owners, Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta.

“Mark 'Super Samoan' vs. Dana 'the parasite' White, Lorenzo Fertitta and Frank Fertitta. Five rounds of MMA. These losers sucked the life out of many fighters. If you win, I'll leave the process. But if I win, you pay every fighter since the UFC started. Now who would pay to see that,” Hunt wrote in his ‘Instagram' official.
The process in question began in 2017, shortly after the Mark Hunt against Brock Lesnar, which took place at UFC 200. On that occasion, the New Zealander lost a unanimous decision from the judges, but saw the setback reversed in a 'no contest', after the North American tested positive for the use of clomiphene – used, on many occasions, to mask the use of androgenic anabolics –.
Therefore, Hunt accused the UFC of having 'hidden' the test results from his opponent and went to court with eight separate actions related to bad faith agreements, extortion and fraud. However, the cases were closed due to lack of evidence and, in December 2019, the organization asked for payment of legal fees. With the unsuccessful prosecution of the case, the fighter will have to pay US$301.792,50 (R$1,687 million) in lawyer fees, in addition to US$86.442,72 (R$483 thousand) in costs to the company.
