News Mark Hunt ordered to pay nearly 400k in UFC's legal costs lol

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

Hunt should be careful, Frank could smash his head like a grape if they ever met.

I don't understand how suing someone in another country works. Can't he just say no? Im assuming he doesn't have much assets in America...

There's a lot of political agreements between the countries involved that allow Americans to sue Australians and vice versa. Otherwise, taken to its logical conclusion, the UFC could also just say no to Hunt if he won. So no, unfortunately Hunt is going to need to pay up.

I mean look at his av.

He had a bizarre transformation of character, up until the Brock fight he was rather humble & quiet, he did start talking trash once he was in the UFC but I believe he was basically coerced by the UFC in doing so, in Pride he was very different. Ever since Brock the guy has just lost it, I don't know what it is, I understand the frustration having to continually fight people cheating but he was looked after financially compared to other heavyweights and he was granted very good opportunities, he should have just swallowed it but this path he is going down is going to send him broke, like he has been once before. Wouldn't surprise me if some form of CTE or brain damage is at play, he doesn't sound terribly brain damaged but you never know.

He has more losses than wins and the UFC gifted him interim title shots and big fights and huge pay days. Most of the damage in his career also happened in K1 and Pride

NOT the UFC yet he claims the UFC owes him $ for damages

Its cheap and sad and legally his case is garbage and has no grounds which is why he will fully lose and have to pay.

Also it has been exposed how he treats fans who disagrees with them he curses them out and threatens people.

Did we really need another thread solely to dump on Hunt?

No. You want to merge this shit, or should i

UFC allowed Brock Lesnar to fight after he tested positive for steroids. I hope Hunt wins this losing battle against these scumbags.

No not true

If that was Hunt would be winning but he isnt. Actually read the case he has nothing

that is a picture of a Sherbro. He is very very big.
He was originally pictured standing next to Frank Mir and he made Frank Mir look relatively small.

I believe he was around 17 or so.

Go for it. Thank you.

Come on, Hunt.

Sherbro name was "SCE" and he was at that time (10yrs ago) 6'5" and 262lbs.

he always sounds like he's brain damaged or at least talking out of his ass. Follow him on IG and see the kind of stuff he says and posts. I saw him post something about "licking assholes" once or some weird stuff that he thought was cool or badass. Did NOT come across like that at all. Hunto is a strange man

Since it's a hunt thread

This is fucking hilarious and just makes me like him more

The UFC has assets and is headquartered in America. A court order from US District of Nevada has the force of law upon them.

That isn't the same as enforcing a US judgement over an Australian citizen who doesn't have assets or nexus in America. Whole different ball of wax. That is to say, it would be much easier to enforce a judgement against the UFC than it is to enforce a judgement against Mark in Australia.

It appears the US and Australia do not have a bilateral agreement for enforcement of each others judgements. It looks like a complicated process and will cost additional local lawyer fees to take a run at it. It appears the UFC would fail at meeting the very first criteria outlined in that 'it must be final and conclusive.'

Difference is the UFC is an American company with almost all of it's assets in the USA. And they used the American court.
If the UFC sued Hunt via the New Zealand court it would make more sense.

Well that sucks.. but Hunt should have known it was a lost cause from the start. I guess his lawyer(s) didnt mind the payout though.

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

Hope Ngannou calls out UFC’s Bullshit after a big win Jan.22nd.

Gotta treat fighters better than this, they should’ve settled with Hunt out if court.

That's very informative thanks! Seems to me like the question of jurisdiction could be the stickiest one, although perhaps Hunt, by bringing the court action himself, has already recognized the US courts jurisdiction in the matter. As far as final and conclusive, it's an interesting question. But for the most part, a court ordered settlement of legal fees is pretty conclusive. But yeah, given the small possibility that Hunt could win on appeal, I see the argument that it is not final.

I'm all for Hunt keeping his money, but he is bringing a nuisance lawsuit.
