Morning Report: Mark Hunt rips the UFC and ‘sellout’ Jeff Novitzky for taking away his love of fighting

Whether it be in boxing, kickboxing, or MMA, Mark Hunt has been fighting professionally for 20 years, and in those two decades he has built a legacy as one of the better combat sports athletes ever. He’s a legend of the game, often listed among your favorite fighter’s favorite fighters, because of his willingness “to play punch face” with anyone at any time. But even a man as devoutly in love with fighting as Hunt has his breaking point, and it turns out the UFC was just that for “The Super Samoan”.

For the last few years, Hunt has been embroiled in a lawsuit with the UFC over their promotion of fighters caught using performance enhancing drugs.
