Days before Mark Hunt’s Octagon return, UFC lawyers file motion to dismiss his lawsuit

Mark Hunt is set to return to the Octagon this weekend, but his fight in the court room is sharing the spotlight.

Hunt filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the UFC, UFC president Dana White and Brock Lesnar in January, claiming racketeering, fraud, negligence and breach of contract, among other complaints, with regards to Lesnar’s failed USADA drug tests in relation to UFC 200.

On Tuesday, the legal team representing the UFC and White filed a motion to dismiss the suit, as expected, per public records. The court will now determine what claims will be thrown out and which will remain in the suit (if any).
