Hunt even mentioned the Brazilian favelas when commenting on Werdum's suspension and called the former champion 'weak-headed'.

“I'm glad he got caught, that asshole. Go back to the favelas. F**k you, you s***! Good job. He should be here, but that's what you get for being weak. This is your reward, Fabricio, for having such a weak head. See you later,” Hunt teased.

Hunt was knocked out by Werdum when they faced each other for the interim heavyweight belt, at UFC 180, in 2014. The New Zealander stated that seeing 'Vai Cavalo' in a confrontation with Cain Velazquez made him very angry.

“I had to lose 21kg in three and a half weeks to be able to compete for the belt at that event. I took a knee to the head from that cheater, and then he won Cain Velazquez in Mexico too. That made me very angry. And then he didn't stand up to me – this guy is a f***ing cheater. He's a dog. See you later, Fabricio. I’ll take advantage, motherfucker”, concluded Mark.

Initially the main fight of the UFC Moscow would be between Fabricio Werdum and Alexey Oleinik. With the suspension of USADA, the Brazilian's card was withdrawn and Mark Hunt stayed in its place.
