MARK Hunt has reacted furiously to Brock Lesnar’s USADA flagging for potential doping, saying the “f***ing cheat” should lose his $2.5 million purse and threatening to quit the UFC if promotion bosses don’t take action.

Hunt, who lost a unanimous decision to Lesnar at UFC 200 in the former heavyweight champion’s first fight in the Octagon for five years, pulled no punches in an exclusive interview with FOX Sports News (listen above).

“I said (to the UFC), ‘If you don’t give me half his s**t [purse], I’m walking away from this company, I want out of here. This is rubbish’,” Hunt said.

“You [UFC] better do something. I already talked to the bosses. They better do something or I want out of here, I want a release from my contract. You guys are just making a mockery out of us, you’re making a fool out of me, you make me look like an idiot.

“I lost on that night to some f***ing cheat. There’s no way he could weigh 265 [pounds] like me - he was about 500 kilos, there was no f***ing way he was weighing in at my weight. It just makes a mockery of the whole sport, it makes a fool out of all of us, all the people who’ve paid money for top end fighting - now all they’ve got is a cheat against a guy who doesn’t cheat.

“It’s ridiculous, I think it’s rubbish and I think it’s time for the UFC to stand up. Otherwise I don’t want to be a part of this company and I think there’s a lot of fighters that understand.

“They give frickin’ [Nick] Diaz five years for marijuana - what about these clowns that are cheating? F***ing clowns that are caught doping for enhancement.”

Hunt said he expected Lesnar’s ‘B’ sample would also be found positive by USADA and said the WWE superstar had to pay the consequences.

“There’s no freaking way it’s not going to come back positive. I think he should either forfeit his purse or refund all the f***ing money to people who paid to watch it,” he said.

“Half of his purse should come to me - maybe all of it. The guy shouldn’t get a cent. That, or refund everyone that paid money. They paid for an even playing field - they didn’t get that. They got a cheater against a guy not cheating.”

UFC 200 hit unprecedented controversy before fight night on July 9 (US time), with the main event of Jon Jones v Daniel Cormier pulled after USADA flagged Jones.

“If they already knew he [Lesnar] was doping, why didn’t they let Jones fight?” said Hunt, who has also seen Antonio Silva and Frank Mir flagged for doping after facing them in the UFC.

“I’m lucky I didn’t get injured. I think it’s rubbish. I think all of his s**t should be taken off him. There’s no penalties or deterrents to guys that are cheating. This is not the first time, this is the third time I’ve had to fight someone doping.”

Lesnar, 39, may face a ban of up to two years if his ‘B’ sample comes back positive. The WWE superstar, who’s next action is wrestling against Randy Orton at Summer Slam in August, shattered Conor McGregor’s $1 million record for the UFC’s highest guaranteed purse when he scored $2.5 million to face Hunt.

His win will likely become a no contest, while the UFC has the power to strip his purse under its anti-doping policy with USADA. The Nevada State Athletic Commission may also act, given the bout was in Las Vegas.

“This fool Brock Lesnar comes in, gets caught for doping, and is probably going to walk away,” Hunt said.

“They say they’re going to clean this sport up but I’ve had to fight three cheaters in a row.”

The Lesnar bout was the first of Hunt’s new six-fight contract with the UFC, announced in April. Hunt earned $700,000 for UFC 200.

Hunt closed his interview with FOX Sports News by comparing Lesnar to Lance Armstrong, saying: “Bloody dirty cheaters. F*** ‘em, f*** ‘em, f*** ‘em.”

The ‘Super Samoan’ was furious ahead of his fight with Lesnar, after the UFC waived the requirement that the megastar submit to four months of USADA testing before re-entering the Octagon. Hunt told FOX Sports he was convinced the wrestler was “juiced to the gills”.
