Mark Hunt lawsuit survives UFC motion to dismiss, moves forward with amended complaint

Mark Hunt got good news regarding his lawsuit against the UFC, Dana White and Brock Lesnar recently.

Last week, the suit survived a motion to dismiss by the defendants and Thursday Hunt’s attorneys filed an amended complaint in U.S. District Court (District of Nevada). Hunt is alleging the UFC, White and Lesnar committed racketeering, fraud, battery and civil conspiracy with regards to Lesnar’s failed drug test at UFC 200.

In the amended complaint, obtained by MMA Fighting, Hunt claims that the UFC, White and Lesnar knew Lesnar was using performance-enhancing drugs ahead of his UFC 200 bout with Hunt, cleared the way for Lesnar to get by USADA and then let him fight anyway.
