First of all, in the rant he refers to his Facebook followers as cockroaches, which is perhaps not the greatest move from a PR perspective. What is sort of sad was the comment from a fan, who has the same grammatical stylings as Hunt, mentioning that he used to be a fan of Hunt’s but all this bitching and moaning he has been doing since Lesnar’s failed drug test has changed all that.
The comment got 75 likes, and again these are all of Hunt’s Facebook “fans”. Hunt then went off on that guy as well, and claimed that he too was on steroids.
While Hunt is losing a lot of fans from his hilariously over-the-top reaction to Lesnar’s drug suspension, he is winning over a lot of other fans, who just like the fact that Hunt has turned out to be a giant loose cannon. There’s nothing wrong with being a bit of a train wreck who has massive outbursts, that kind of stuff is really funny sometimes.
What shouldn’t be lost in this is that Hunt does have a valid reason to be upset. His last two opponents, Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar, both failed drug tests after their fight.
The issue some people are taking with Hunt’s actions, is that its not as though his opponents are just now starting to take steroids, they’ve always been juiced, it’s just they are now just getting caught. So why is Hunt just starting to get upset now? He fought in Pride of all places, everyone there was juicing, and they probably assumed he was too!
Here’s some more of Hunt’s greatest hits:
