After getting smothered by Brock Lesnar at UFC 200, Mark Hunt released a number of furious statements when he learned about the failed drug test. He first said he wanted an even split of Brock’s massive record-breaking salary.
After some further thought, ‘The Super Samoan’ feels that isn’t enough and even gets in to some beef with trolls over Twitter:
Well I wanted half but have changed my mind cheaters shouldn’t get shit I want all of it cheaters don’t deserve shit #cheatersdeservenada

And here’s Mark Hunt’s original statement from his website MarkHunt.TV:
“I saw Brock made millions for this fight, more than anyone ever.” he said. “I wanna know what they are gonna do to Brock now. When you don’t make weight they give twenty percent of your purse to the other fighter. If you get caught cheating you should lose all of it.
“I’ve told Dana I want half of Brock’s purse.”
Having fought “cheaters” in the past, Hunt says enough is enough.
“They say they are trying to clean up the sport, but it doesn’t feel like it.” he said. “The UFC is basically saying if you cheat you won’t be penalised.
“This is the third time I’ve had to fight a cheater in my career. The other two times I didn’t ask for compensation, but this is the third time and I’m sick of them getting away with cheating.”
Hunt sent a clear message to the UFC… Either sort it out or he wants a release from his contract.
“I’ve told Dana that I want a release from the UFC if they don’t sort this out.” he said.
