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

He was a pleasure to watch. One of the great walk-off athletes. Unfortunately his language was horrific and his suit was nonsensical. The outcome was predictable. The irony is not entirely without comic value in that the whole thing seemed like a money grab.

Whether there's really a clause in their contracts for failed claimants to pay defense fees or not, it's something that can be awarded. That's always a risk.

I wish we'd gotten to see more of his fights. I was always pretty stoked when he was on a card. I'm not sure what his renegotiations looked like, but that probably had something to do with the suit.
 
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that defendant UFC’s renewed motion for attorneys’ fees and costs [ECF No. 193] is GRANTED. Defendants are awarded $301,792.50 in attorneys’ fees and $86,442.72 in costs, for a total of $388,235.22, and the Clerk of Court is directed to ENTER JUDGMENT accordingly.

IMHO it serves him right for being a sore loser.

Right before Lesnar fight, when inquired about Lesnar not testing, he said he didn't care if Lesnar was juiced to the grills.
After getting beat by Lesnar he sues the UFC for endangering him???

If he had kept his mouth shut, I would even side with him, because the UFC should not have put someone that was outside of the testing pool to fight.
But he lost that chance.
 
Whatever the legal decisions, this ends up leaving a bad taste in my mouth regarding the UFC. It just does.
 
Since it's a hunt thread

Keep trolling. I'm going to revel in this like you are in Hunt's loss.
C'mon man you know D1 is legit one of the biggest trolls and worst posters here. If you have a shit poster of the year award he'd win almost every year.
 
Dana should come out and say "Mark, we don't want your money. We got some shit wrong, can't re-do it now, we wish you all the best"

Would be the best PR possible for the UFC

(will never happen though)
 
UFC knew Lesnar was on roids when they let him fight.
Hunt knew too, he just didn't care at the time, the money was too good, unless he had some witnesses of paperwork to prove that the UFC and the commission did some shady shit to let Brock fight this case was always a huge waste of money.
 
Mark is the dumbass who took the Lesnar fight knowing damn well he was juiced to the gills. Leading up to the fight he said he was still going to knock him out and then after he gets beat, he starts crying about Lesnar being on roids.


I used to be a fan of him but he’s come off as a salty, shit talking person because a fight he knew was dirty, didn’t go his way.
100% agree lol.

Hunt said before the fight that Lesnar was on the juice. lmfao.

My guess is that he is not paying a dime.
 
I've read the report a bit more carefully. The overall case is not done. But what the UFC is doing is playing hardball by getting favorable judgments on the weakest parts of his case, and then getting the lawyers fees pertaining to those parts specifically.

As the case goes on, unless Hunt starts winning, the UFC can keep draining him of funds. It's a coldhearted strategy, but the UFC can afford just those kinds of lawyers.

IMO Hunt needs to start looking for a way out of this. Otherwise, it's a huge gamble on his part that could potentially ruin him.

Everyone read this please before talking shite.
