Found a copy of Mark Hunt's complaint in his lawsuit against UFC.
Microsoft Word - 7806312_1.docx (courthousenews.com)
Hunt alleges,
31. By September 4, 2012, nearly three weeks prior to UFC 152, the UFC was in possession of Belfort’s pre-fight drug testing results. At approximately 3:01 p.m. Pacific time on September 4, 2012, a UFC paralegal inadvertently e-mailed the drug test results to a group of people, including approximately 29 other fighters, trainers and managers.
32. The content of Belfort’s drug test results was “flagged” for containing free testosterone approximately two-and-one-half (2.5 times) the normal range.
33. On September 4, 2012, at approximately 3:04 p.m., a UFC paralegal sent a follow up email attempting to recall the inadvertently disclosed drug test results.
34. On September 4, 2012, at approximately 3:55 p.m., a UFC paralegal sent an additional follow up email imploring the unintended recipients to “please disregard the e-mail, please delete ASAP!!!!!”
35. On September 4, 2012, at approximately 7:16 p.m., the unintended recipients were contacted by then UFC executive vice president and general counsel, Ike Lawrence Epstein, threatening legal action for any disclosure of Belfort’s drug testing results.
36. At no time prior to the UFC 152 bout was Jones aware or informed that Belfort was granted a testosterone use exemption or that Belfort’s drug test was flagged as abnormal for elevated testosterone.
37. Notwithstanding Belfort’s drug test result, the UFC concealed and actively suppressed by threat of litigation the test results, and caused and permitted the bout between Belfort and Jones to proceed.
