![]() We’ve fought everybody, did everything and they’re saying I’m still the most troubled? “I’m still here after all the holding back I’ve been through. “I don’t know what it is,” Nate Diaz said of their strained relationship with the UFC. White fumed when Nick Diaz skipped media commitments connected to his welterweight title shot against Georges St-Pierre, and he stormed out of a meeting before UFC 202 when Nate argued for more purse money.īut there’s no denying the mixed martial arts fans’ interest in the brothers, who are strongly schooled in boxing and jujitsu and committed to a training regimen that includes triathlons while personifying the anti-authority culture that a core of the fan base embraces. This story originally appears on Fox Sports US.The friction between the Diaz brothers and UFC President Dana White is long and storied. “I don’t want to be coming to work and losing, and that’s a high chance of doing, or losing my life because some guy months and months ago was preparing to kill me. I feel the same for him, I’ve lots respect for fighters that cheat. ![]() ![]() Let’s see some crazy and let’s see someone die. If that’s the case, let it be black and white, tell everyone it’s OK to cheat. “Cowards that enhance themselves to hurt someone else, they shouldn’t be at the top anyway. That’s all he is,” Hunt said about Lesnar. “To be honest, I think he’s a coward and he’s a cheat. If he kills someone and the guy’s caught doping, how would you feel? What would you think about that? He should go to jail.”Īs far as his feelings on Lesnar, who recently informed the UFC that he was once again retiring from the sport after his unceremonious exit from the organisation after his last win was overturned to a no contest, Hunt clearly has no love lost for the former heavyweight champion and current WWE superstar. “I think there should be a criminal proceeding if the guy’s caught doping and he really hurts the person. But what am I going to do? Shut my mouth and get to the back of the bus and go to work?” Hunt stated. “I have five fights left on my contract but who knows these days. Hunt still has five fights remaining on his UFC contract, including the bout against Overeem on Saturday night, but even if it irritates his employers, he refuses to stay silent any longer. While Hunt is committed to his battle against the UFC regarding the situation with Lesnar from last year, he won’t be fighting anywhere else anytime soon either. It took me that loss against Brock Lesnar to realise that. “It really irritates me on my skin that I have to share the Octagon with guys that have cheated to get here. ![]() “It’s been a pattern of things that’s happened and it’s come to a point where I lost against Brock and I did lose and he did beat me up and I just couldn’t compete. “Like I said before, this is supposed to be the best fighters in the world not the best cheaters in the world, the best guys who can hide it with doctors,” Hunt said. What am I supposed to do? Keep coming to work and fighting steroid cheaters? How would you feel going to work? If you do lose against a guy that’s cheating, you lose. While Hunt is preparing for battle just two days away, the only subject anybody can talk about is the pending lawsuit and he promises that’s not what he wanted, but he just couldn’t sit around and take it anymore. Hunt lobbied to get a clause put into his contract that stated if his opponent was caught cheating their entire purse would be handed over to him. The 42-year-old former K-1 Grand Prix champion has been pounding the drum for the better part of the last year asking the UFC to hand out much stiffer punishments for fighters who are caught cheating due to performance enhancing drugs. Mark Hunt has waged war on doping cheats.
