One half of Saturday night's main event, Mark Hunt took the opportunity at today's weigh-ins to publicly call out former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Fabricio Werdum, who has just been suspended for two years, following a failed drugs test.

Hunt, in an expletive-laden rant summed up his feeling by simply saying:

"That’s what you get, Fabricio, for being a weak-minded person. See you later.”

Hunt who has faced several opponents, most notably, Brock Lesnar at UFC 200, who have failed drugs tests after the fights was so incensed by this issue that he launched a lawsuit against UFC in January 2017 seeking damages from fighters who had earned ill-gotten prize money from attempting to circumvent the rules.

With that in mind, it was hardly a surprise that Hunt commented on Werdum's suspension but it made for a significant moment. Will Hunt have more to say tomorrow night, win or lose?
