Mark Hunt ordered to pay UFC $388,000, challenges Dana White and Fertittas to fight

The United States District Court in Nevada has ordered former interim UFC heavyweight title challenger Mark Hunt to pay attorney fees and costs amounting to $388,235 to the UFC. Whether or not the UFC is actually going to be able to collect on that money remains to be seen

All of this stretches back to a 2017 lawsuit filed by Hunt against the UFC. In that lawsuit, Hunt claimed the UFC knew of Brock Lesnar’s use of a banned substance before Hunt and Lesnar stepped into the Octagon at UFC 200. Lesnar won that fight by unanimous decision, but the result was later overturned and changed to a no contest after it was revealed Lesnar had tested positive for the banned substance clomiphene during a pre-fight drug test.
