Hunt was taken out of his UFC Sydney fight against Marcin Tybura due to health
concerns and he isn’t happy about it. Hunt says he is healthy and medically fit
to fight but UFC President Dana White and the UFC are trying to push him out for
being a whistleblower and pushing for tougher sanctions on performance-enhancing
drug abusers. The UFC countered that Hunt was removed from his fight because of
concerns about his health following comments he made in an article that appeared
on Player’s Voice. He told the website: “Sometimes I don’t sleep well. You can
hear me starting to stutter and slur my words. My memory is not that good
anymore. I’ll forget something I did yesterday, but I can remember the crap I
did years and years ago. That’s just the price I’ve paid – the price of being a
fighter. But I’ve fought a lot of drug cheats and copped a lot of punishment
from guys who were cheating and that’s not right.” Hunt went back to Player’s
Voice with a new article, A Message to Dana White and in the article he states
that he passed two medical checks before the fight, one of which was from a
neurosurgeon. He says UFC can test him anytime they like and that his brain is
fine but UFC is being cautious due to what Hunt said. He has three fights left
on his current contract. |
