Mark Hunt's legal battle against the UFC, Dana White and Brock Lesnar has come to a permanent conclusion.
Back in 2016, 'Super Samoan' initiated a lawsuit against the MMA promotion, its then-president, and the former heavyweight champion following UFC 200. Hunt's contention was that the UFC, particularly White, was aware of Lesnar's use of performance-enhancing drugs yet allowed him to compete.
Lesnar initially won the fight, but this victory was overturned due to a failed drug test. In response, Hunt levied a series of allegations, including fraud, unjust enrichment, contract breach, battery and violation of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
Fast forward to 2023, recently a federal judge in Nevada dismissed the remaining parts of Mark Hunt's case against his former promoter, which was resurrected in 2021 when an appeals court reversed previous dismissals of claims involving battery, fraud, and conspiracy.
According to a recent report by combat sports law reporter Jason Morrin, U.S. District Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey determined that Hunt could not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the UFC intentionally deceived him about Lesnar's use of performance-enhancing drugs in their UFC 200 match or conspired to set up the fight while being aware that Lesnar was using prohibited substances.
