On Tuesday, the UFC pulled Mark Hunt from his scheduled headliner fight against Marcin Tybura in Sydney this November. Their decision was based on Hunt’s previous article on The Player’s Voice, where the veteran fighter spoke about “being unable to sleep well”, and “stuttering and slurring his words.”

Hours after the decision was made, Hunt released an irate post on Instagram, particularly targeting UFC president Dana White. The Super Samoan then followed up his previous profanity-filled post with two more statements on Instagram, where he explained how the article he wrote was “misquoted” and that he had already passed his medicals for the fight.
