Mark Hunt complaining about the exemption

[MMA Nut]

I can understand Hunt , Lesnar coming from the land of steroid use ( i.e pro wrestling ) and Lesnar showing signs of deflecting in size though the months and also being exempt from USDA testing pool , it's only understandable that Hunt would feel that Lesnar could be using PED's , i mean look at Lesnar now , he looks bigger then he did almost 5 YEARS AGO !! .... i would be suspicious too if i was in Hunts shoes.

What people on this forum, and unfortunately one of my favorite fighters Hunt, cant wrap their heads around is this has nothing to do with avoiding drug tests for Brock. It would be impossible for him to return at UFC 200 after Conor dicked over the card without the exemption. He would have to sign the contract and register with USADA 4 months in advance. There was no plan for Brock to return 4 months ago. It's that simple. For this card to possibly happen, he absolutely had to be given this exemption. Period.

Brock has been signed with the UFC for a week and has already been drug tested. If you think this is all about avoiding a drug test you are a blind hater or absent of brain cells.

If he somehow loses the fight, I think he would have a case.

He's complaining now as an Ace to put in his back pocket. Smart move.

I think the only way he really loses is if Brock actually does dope up hard and or that the UFC pays Hunt to take a dive. Which I doubt Hunt would ever dive for anyone cause he's a man of dignity, so here's hoping he KTFOs Lesnar.

He is being tested. They are just letting him fight without waiting 4 months.

So you honestly believe Lesnar and the UFC didn't know well in advance when he'd be returning to fight?

He just happened to fall on UFC 200, thats not a coincidence at all right?

Mark doesn't make much excuses when it comes to fighting but is hard not to feel salty when you have to play by the rules and your opponent doesn't.

 

[MaulingMyClown]

Hunt fought in K1 and Pride against some pretty juice up foes. He will be fine.

Yes, but he didn't complain then because he was on the shit too. Him complaining about this now solidifies in my mind that he is clean.

 

[Still your boy]

Mark Hunt is a Genius.


He is just saying what everybody else is thinking..It's complete bullshit....and it wil make Mark Hunt's KO look a million times better.

USADA says this.
Any Athlete seeking an exemption from the six (6) month written notice
requirement must apply to WADA for a waiver and follow WADA’s established
policies, rules and procedures. Only WADA may grant exemptions to the six (6)
month written notice requirement and such exemptions will only be granted where
the strict application of the rule would be manifestly unfair to the Athlete.

WADA says this
Retired Athletes Returning to Competition
5.7.1 I f an International- or National-Level Athlete
in a Registered Testing Pool retires and then
wishes to return to active participation in sport,
the Athlete shall not compete in International
Events or National Events until the Athlete has
made himself or herself available for Testing,
by giving six months prior written notice to his
or her International Federation and National
Anti-Doping Organization. WADA , in consultation
with the relevant International Federation and
National Anti-Doping Organization, may grant an
exemption to the six-month written notice rule
where the strict application of that rule would be
manifestly unfair to an Athlete. This decision may
be appealed under Article 13.

Would guess they wanted it, but knew, unclear. UFC would have liked Brock at all the press stuff if they had him, don't you think?

In your view, the UFC cared more about Brock getting drug tested 3 less months than months of promoting?

Exactly.

Especially if thats what Brock wanted. Brock also hates doing press. The UFC needed and wanted Brock more than Brock needed or wanted them.

Brock was able to hustle a 1 fight deal out of them. Think about that. Not even Fedor managed that one. It's obvious who's calling the shots in this one, and for once it aint Dana and Lorenzo.

brock doesnt need any "assistance" he is a natural born freak of nature

[jeremyemilio]

I would be pissed too. Lesnar doesn't look too natural.

But without the exemption the fight doesn't happen at all. How does Hunt propose that the USADA go about traveling back in time to test Brock for the full four months leading up to UFC 200?

I mean, sure it's a valid point to make that Lesnar hasn't been subject to full testing in the past months and years the way that Hunt has... but how can he complain about the exemption? Did he actually sign the fight in hopes that it would be cancelled?

It honestly doesn't make sense to me.

 

[touchedbyjab]

Wait I thought he was being tested.... atleast that's what some of you idiots said in another thread.

If not, it is kind of shitty.

 

[jeremyemilio]

Zuffa: "So we've signed Brock for UFC 200, and we want you to be his opponent. But there's still this USADA thing to work out."

Hunto: "Awesome. Sign me up."

Zuffa: "So good news; we worked it out. Brock has been cleared to fight you!"

Hunto: "No fair!"

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

I didn't expect him to care.

 

[jeremyemilio]

Wait I thought he was being tested.... atleast that's what some of you idiots said in another thread.

If not, it is kind of shitty.

He IS being tested. The exemption is to let him fight despite the fact that he HAS NOT been tested over the past couple of months. How do you propose the USADA get themselves back in time time do that?

Soooo... that kinda makes YOU the idiot, right?

 

[86'd]

I didn't expect him to care.

Well he is still fighting him and did say whether he's on steroids or not he'd KO him.

He's just merely stating that he finds the rules of USADA a little hypocritical and obtuse believing Brock and the UFC used it as a loophole. Especially when considering USADA and the UFC have led such a big campaign ''to clean up the sport''

 

[Axe720]

Maybe their justification is that the company he's coming from also has a drug testing policy in place. But the reliability of said policy is obviously questionable.
