Earlier this week, Mark Hunt came out swinging against Brock Lesnar for the former champion being awarded a title shot despite failing a USADA drug test ahead of his last fight. Now, “The Super Samoan” is taking aim at another former UFC heavyweight champion for getting caught using banned substances.
Former Hunt opponent Fabricio Werdum tested positive for the anabolic steroid trenbolone and its metabolite epitrenbolone in an out-of-competition urine screening earlier this year. As a result, Werdum was pulled from his scheduled bout with Aleksei Oleinik at UFC Moscow and now Hunt is main-eventing the card this weekend instead, something Hunt is quite happy about.
