I wonder if it was something for weight cutting. He was well over 300 lbs.
You can't tell me the UFC didn't know about this. Call it tinfoil hat if you want, but the UFC 200 card was in serious threat of being an absolute turd without Lesnar. UFC 200 being an absolute turd would not have been very encouraging for the sale. If you're previous ownership, you take the hit on the way out of the business. Leave a mess for the guys that bought it if you must. UFC 200 was supposed to be a celebration of how great the UFC was and how far it had come, and the irony is that it was undermined by some of the biggest issues the Fertitta brothers never addressed. Mismanagement of personalities by Dana White and never cracking down hard enough on PEDs. It turned what was supposed to be the biggest card in the history of sports into an above average UFC event. But hey, they'll have all the time in the world to feel guilty on their private islands.
When was the last time Lesnar tested positive? Just curious. A lot of people pick out a big jacked guy and automatically call him out for PED's.
Jon Jones always was, and will forever be a piece of ****.
lol cmon
He's been tested 5 times leading up to UFC 200. He's been clean.

Just look at A-Rod. Dude is still a gazllionaire.yeah, agreed. you usually have to be pretty sleazy to get rich.
His test was on June 28th. It takes two weeks or so to get the results. Jon Jones test was on June 16th. No conspiracy.
Mark Hunt now wants all of Brock Lesnar's purse. Dude is pissed - rightfully so.

Hunt was playing the whoa is me card days after the fight saying he didn't know how Lesnar made weight. If he'd have won like everyone thought, do you think he'd give a **** if Lesnar tested positive for anything? It's because he lost that he's doing this now, and it comes off as sad, IMO.

Pfff, comon man. YOU get in there against a 6'5 mammoth and learn after getting the beating of a lifetime that you weren't fighting on equal terms. Hunt has every right to be pissed about this.
And he was right? If I lose to a cheater I'm going to be pissed off too. Apparently you'd just suck it up?Then half the UFC fighters from the early 2000's owe their foes quite a bit of money...
Before the fight, Hunt was overconfident saying his plan was to punch Lesnar's face off. After he got in there and got manhandled, he starts with crap about not understanding how he makes weight, and that was BEFORE the positive test.

Lesnar could face a fine of anywhere between $1.25m - $1.875m.
I think you're misunderstanding me, I was just saying that I am almost certain that the UFC knew about Brock still being in a steroid cycle. They pulled him basically off the street. I also thought it was odd that Brock was SUPER non-committal about ever fighting again in the press after the fight was over. Basically as if this were a one-off for him. It meant that there were no camps. No testing until this fight "materialized" out of thin air. They basically turned a fast one on the NSAC on the way out the door in knowing that Brock wasn't going to test clean but nothing could be done about it after the event was over. I'm damn sure they made it worth Brock's time.
