Frank Mir Talks Mark Hunt Suing The UFC and Brock Lesnar

Mir speaks the truth. Hunt should get paid.

Ufc gave an exception to Brock, that's where they are liable.

Hunt is suddenly a dog in this fight.

What are the betting lines?

They are not liable for the exemption.
Brock was not under contract to UFC when USADA was brought in

From Meltzer's recent newsletter:

That's simply not the case. The language isn't limited to retirements.

5.7.1 An Athlete who gives notice of retirement to UFC, or has otherwise ceased to have a contractual relationship with UFC, may not resume competing in UFC Bouts until he/she has given UFC written notice of his/her intent to resume competing and has made him/herself available for Testing for a period of four months before returning to competition. UFC may grant an exemption to the four-month written notice rule in exceptional circumstances or where the strict application of that rule would be manifestly unfair to an Athlete.

They're applying it to Angela Hill, who was cut.

It is retarded that it applies to returning athletes but not new hires though.

Edit: they also applied it to Ben Saunders, who simply didn't re-sign right away due to family issues taking priority at the time.

As if Mir didn't hit the roids pretty hard himself after the Lesnar loss. Going in against Carwin, Mir was jacked.

[2GunTommy]

Hunt should get paid.
The UFC knew exactly what they were doing.
They took a freak show that they knew was dirty and gave him a pass so that they wouldn't lose a bunch of money with a crappie card.

They did this with no concern for the safety of Borks opponent.

 

[Tugboat]

I agree with Mir, agree with Hunt,

 

[Blackjack]

Mir speaks the truth. Hunt should get paid.

Hunt did get paid. Hut got paid more money than he's ever made for a fight in his whole career so Hunt benefitted from that exemption too. Hunt wouldn't have gotten paid that much if it hadn't been UFC 200 and if he wasn't facing one of the 3 biggest draws in the history of the sport. Mir also ignores the fact that Hunt voluntarily took that fight. he could have said he didn't feel that it would be fair with the 4 month testing exemption but he didn't.

This is what I'd expect from Mir though considering he's got an axe to grind.. He never got over how badly Brock beat him at UFC 100.

Hunt voluntarily took the fight. So what? What does that have to to do with anything?

Fact is that UFC gave Brock an excemption to avoid the fight getting cancelled. This isn't the same as Hunt agreeing to fight a roided opponent.

Interesting, hunt has no case if this is true.

It has everything to do with it. By accepting to take the fight knowing that Lesnar wouldn't be tested for 4 months prior to the fight, he gave up the right to complain it wasn't fair. If he honestly didn't believe it was fair he would have rejected the offer. He chose to fight the one fighter in his division who was eligible for that exemption and he took the fight knowing that because he wanted to fight Brock and get the biggest payday of his career.

That was a known exception that they didn't specifically make for Bork

Where I think the UFC is in trouble is if they did indeed know that Bork failed a test pre-fight and went ahead and had him fight anyways

 

[FinBJJ]

Does Mir seriously think benefits from PEDs disappear in 4 months? Even 4 years wouldn't be enough if we're talking about something like anabolic steroids.

 

[AkuraIchiban]

It's funny how a well known steroid cheat defends Hunt. Then again, he got fed strawberries by Brock.

Death penalty to cheaters, that'll teach em

 

[thechoice2]

Why is Mir commenting about this? He should keep his mouth shut since his name is mentioned in the suit and Hunt could decide to sue him as well since he failed his test when he fought Hunt.
