Retired fighters returning to the UFC are supposed to undergo four months of drug testing but Brock Lesnar was granted an exemption.
It didn't take long for the war of words between Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt to go from professionally combative to personal.
Hunt, speaking to UFC Fight Week on Fox Sports, accused Lesnar of being on steroids and bemoaned the drug-testing exemption given to his UFC 200 opponent.
“I don’t think it’s a great move," Hunt said. "I think he’s juiced to the gills—and I still think I’m going to knock him out. So I don’t think that’s correct. I don’t think he should be allowed to get a four-month exemption otherwise everyone else should. Otherwise I should start juicing."
Lesnar, 38, was announced for the UFC 200 card last Saturday. He has not fought for the promotion since losing to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141, nearly five years ago. Under typical circumstances, UFC requires a fourth-month notification of a fighter's planned return to the ring.
Lesnar only officially signed his contract last week and was thus not subject to UFC's testing requirements. He entered protocol Monday, but that left only a little more than a month for Lesnar to be in UFC's testing program. UFC granted Lesnar a waiver because his previous run with the company came before the policy came into effect.
It looks like the ufc want lesnar to win lol.
