He can call Lesnar a cheat. It's his saying the UFC and USADA colluded to keep the fight on and all his other crap that is nonsense that makes him sound a fool.
I think it's his saying before the fight he knows Lesnar will be on steroids and doesn't care, and then after he loses he goes nuts acting surprised about what he said he already knew.
Yeah, the second paragraph is a valid point. When Hunt made the first comment that Lesnar was juiced - I felt he was being serious in what he said, but he couldn't be 100% sure if that was the case. Now that something fishy has happened with regards to Lesnar's test results, that probably reaffirms his suspicions. And not only his, but a lot of peoples.
I would think that Hunt believed he was on something or coming off something, but regardless, he probably thought he would have clipped Lesnar and that would be that. But by the same token, he could have said 'fuck this, I'm not fighting someone I suspect of being a cheat' and walked away from probably making a good chunk of change.
I can see the contradictions in what Hunt says, but for me, I'm fine with it. I absolutely agree that fighters caught cheating should get longer bans and stripped of their money. In that sense I would fully be all for that if anyone is caught cheating and proven to have taken what they were flagged for.
I think the punishments should be a lot stricter and for someone like Lesnar who made a ton of money in that fight, if he gets banned, he gets fined but he still walks away with the majority of his money.
