I love Hunto and hope he knocks Reem out cold but man, how the fuck did he spend Lesnar's fight money already ($700k)?

Mark Hunt feels he had no choice but to accept his upcoming fight against Alistair Overeem, although that does not mean the Kiwi mixed martial arts star is tapping out in his war on doping.
Hunt revealed to Stuff that he went as far as requesting to be released from his lucrative contract, which was renewed last April, but the UFC refused to budge.
"I'm not young, I'm 42 years old. In six months I've already missed out on a couple of fights, I've already missed out on a couple million dollars," Hunt said.
"At the end of the day I've stuck to my word. I've got no option, I'm in a contract that I can't get out of.
"All the doors I've gone through are closed and it's not like I can go and work somewhere else. Ages ago I was gladly ready to walk away and work somewhere else but they wouldn't allow it.
"Think it from my position, I had no other option. I can't work anywhere else so what am I supposed to do - let my family starve?"
"Every fighter I fight, if he gets caught through the process then I'll sue him personally," he added. "If I don't get help from the company I'll do it myself."
Asked if the USADA ban was sufficient, he said: "No. I didn't even think the other (NSAC) penalty was harsh enough. He got a $250,000 fine but he made about $2 million bucks so how did it actually affect him?
"They (dopers) should be struck from the records and taken everything off them. They don't deserve to get a cent. This sport is already harsh enough as it is. When you add in steroid use it makes it even worse."
