The entire world just witnessed the glorious victory of Jon Jones against #1 French heavyweight Ciryl Gane. Jones secured a victory against ‘Bon Gamin’ within just 2 minutes and 4 seconds into the first round. The American fighter stayed away from the octagon for three long years. Some fans assumed that ring rust could have overpowered Jones. Nonetheless, within minutes, Jones proved that he had come back to the promotion to rule the heavyweight division.

Not everyone is happy with the comeback of ‘Bones’ and the attention he is currently receiving. One of the former UFC fighters made some allegations against the current heavyweight champion and the UFC president Dana White. It was none other than former UFC fighter Mark Hunt.

Soon after Jones won the heavyweight belt, the ‘Super Samoan’ took to Facebook and lashed out at Jones’ victory and the promotion. He wrote, “The @ufc heavyweight champion of the world ladies and gentlemen there u have it a cheating steroid rat who runs into pregnant women and runs off a rat that hides under the octagon for 10 hours hiding from being tested for drugs.

The New Zealand fighter further wrote, “this is your @ufc heavyweight champion this is the rat u need to look upto this is the rat we promote please be upstanding and raise your glass to a company that has zero credibility. Worthless belt worthless champion and even more worthless rip off company any other sport this loser wouldn’t be here that’s why @ufc have no credibility because they promote these garbage.

Hunt also hit out against Jones and the UFC president a few hours before the fight. He made the same allegations against Jones. Even then, he called the current heavyweight champion the “steroid-using rat.” According to him, the promotion glorified the comeback of Jones just to make more money with zero credibility.

There is a reason for Hunt’s bitter words towards the prestige fighting promotion.

Hunt always shared a bitter relationship with UFC

Mark Hunt has always had a bitter relationship with the promotion and the UFC president, Dana White. He fought for the promotion from September 2010 to December 2018. Hunt talked against the credibility of the biggest MMA promotion in the world even while competing for the company. Furthermore, the ‘Super Samoan’ filed a lawsuit against the promotion in 2017 for allowing Brock Lesnar to fight despite failing the anti-doping test. Hunt has always stood against the substance use of fighters. He has also pointed out how UFC shows a blind attitude towards the same.
