Mark Hunt's lawsuit against the UFC filed in 2017 has been dismissed by the U.S. district court in Nevada and the 'Super Samoan' is livid at the verdict. In an Instagram post, Hunt cited the judgment and blasted the UFC and its President Dana White as well as the legal system. (h/t MMA Fighting)

“I tried to make things even on the battle field of MMA but again the cheating company, Dana White, UFC with all its billions they ripped everyone off win again. Someone will die against a steroid using cheater and your rip off company will be at fault UFC."
“I hope all you (expletive) burn. You won this battle but the war will continue. I am not the first to sue this rip off company and sure as hell won’t be the last to sue the UFC. You can’t keep ripping fighters off and run monopoly on the market someone’s going to put u (expletive) down.”

After his unanimous decision loss against former UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar at UFC 200, it was revealed that Lesnar tested positive for using banned substance clomiphene in a test that was conducted almost two weeks prior to their fight at UFC 200.

Lesnar’s victory against Hunt was overturned to a no-contest and he was handed a year-long suspension for violating UFC’s anti-doping policy but Hunt wasn't satisfied with that. Thereafter, Hunt sued the UFC, White, and Lesnar for fraud, breach of contract and numerous other offenses, praying the court to award him compensatory damages, declaratory relief, punitive damages, statutory treble damages, and attorney’s fees.

Hunt's UFC career ended after he lost all three of the three-fight contract he signed with the promotion. His last fight was against Justin Willis at UFC Fight Night 142 in December 2018. Hunt lost the fight via unanimous decision.
