Relationen mellan tungviktaren Mark Hunt och UFC blir stadigt sämre och kommer knappast att bli bättre nu. Idag kunde organisationen nämligen avslöja att de avlägsnat ”The Super Samoan” Hunt från hans kommande match under UFC Fight Night 121.
”Jag har börjat stamma och sluddra på orden”
Anledningen till att Hunt inte längre kommer att möta Marcin Tybura den 19 november, ett möte som skulle agera huvudmatch under Australien-kortet, är en artikel som Hunt själv skrev för Players Voice.
HETAST JUST NU
I artikeln berättar Hunt om sin tid som fighter och avslöjar att han har problem med sömnen och att han har börjat stamma och sluddra på orden:
”Sometimes I don’t sleep well. You can hear me starting to stutter and slur my words. My memory is not that good anymore. I’ll forget something I did yesterday but I can remember the shit I did years and years ago. That’s just the price I’ve paid – the price of being a fighter”.
Den öppenhjärtiga texten kan ha stoppat Hunts kommande match då UFC efter artikeln sände ut ett pressmeddelande:
“Following a recent first-person article published by UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt, UFC has taken the precautionary steps of removing Hunt from a previously announced bout in Sydney, Australia,” skrev UFC till News.com.au i ett pressmeddelande. “The health-related statements made by Hunt in the article represent the first time UFC was made aware of these claims. Athlete health and safety is of the utmost importance to the organization and it would never knowingly schedule an athlete complaining of health issues for a fight. The organization will require that Hunt undergo further testing and evaluations prior to competing in any future UFC bout.”
”Dana u piece of shit motherfucker”
Det dröjde inte länge efter att Hunt fått reda på nyheten innan han tog till sociala medier för att ge sig på UFC och organisationens president Dana White i en serie av inlägg:

”I’m disappointed that I have been withdrawn from the fight, I have passed all medicals 2 days ago. And spent 100,000 on camp. The truth is the legal case I have filed has caused me to be withdrawn. The interview has been taken out of context and want to reassure all my fans, I slur my words only when I have a drink I’m fit and healthy, and would have understood if the UFC requested a medical to ensure my safety, however this is total bullshit fuck you Dana, you’ve always hated me you dog”
Hur tycker du att UFC hanterade situationen?
