In an update on the Mark Hunt vs. UFC and Brock Lesnar lawsuit, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed against them, Dana White and Brock Lesnar on February 28th in the United States District Court of Nevada, shooting down Hunt’s allegations.
Hunt’s lawsuit alleges that without his knowledge or consent, the UFC conspired and caused Brock Lesnar, a doping fighter, to fight Hunt, a clean fighter, despite the fact that Lesnar used substances banned by the UFC, USADA and WADA and that the substances, clomiphene and 4-hydroxyclomiphene, are known as PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) substances, believed to be used after a period of strength training with anabolic steroids or similar prohibited substances.
Hunt also alleges that because he lost his UFC 200 fight against Brock Lesnar, he suffered severe physical injury, as well as economic and non-economic damages, including without limit, damage to his reputation, title contention and future earning capacity and that Lesnar and the UFC were unfairly enriched, due to Lesnar being able to fight despite doping and that the defendants made money, in excess of the $2.5 million that Lesnar made for his base fight purse at UFC 200 and that they did so at the expense of fighter safety and fair competition.
Hunt also alleges that UFC’s conduct leading in to the UFC 200 pay-per-view was representative of and consistent with a pattern of conduct by Defendants of wrongfully jeopardizing fighter health and safety for profit, in violation of State and Federal Law and the UFC’s own policies.
