Mark Hunt has some thoughts. Oh boy, does he have some thoughts, and most of them involve words you would frequently hear on an episode of "South Park."
In an appearance on Monday's edition of "The MMA Hour," Hunt responded to the news of Brock Lesnar failing a second drug test prior to Hunt's loss to Lesnar at UFC 200 by going on a tirade about the former heavyweight champion and the UFC.

"Before the fight I was assuming (Lesnar) was cheating," Hunt said, via MMAFighting.com. "Look at him. There's no way that guy makes 265 pounds. That guy is a gimp, he's sticking needles in his ass like the rest of these cheaters. And the thing about that is, he's sitting here saying ‘this is a fair place.' Well, it's not fair. These guys are cheating and they should be in court for it. (They should) lose all of their money if they're cheating, because if I die in there, who's going to look after my family? ...
"That's corrupt s—, man. These motherf— should be penalized hard. Dirty, scummy, cheating scum. That's how that monkey won his world title. He didn't do it by doing it clean. He did it by cheating, just like the rest of these cheaters."
This isn't the first time Hunt has been forced to deal with this situation. His bout with Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva in 2013 ended in a draw, but Silva failed a post-fight drug test because of elevated testosterone levels. Earlier this year, Hunt defeated Frank Mir at UFC Fight Night 85 before it was revealed Mir had tested positive for an anabolic steroid. It's easy to understand Hunt's frustration.
After Lesnar was flagged for failing the initial test, Hunt demanded the UFC give him half of Lesnar's UFC 200 purse or release him. His sentiment clearly hasn't changed.
"The problem is everyone these days, ‘man, I want to get into the UFC,'" Hunt said. "F— the UFC. You're s—. You motherf— don't look after nobody. We'll let this f—ing white piece of s— f—ing stick needles in his ass and say, ‘oh, he's going to take us all the way to the f—ing bank.' Let's give him f—ing millions of dollars and not worry about this motherf—.
"You know what? F— that and f— your s— company. Look at that for a contract. You can sue me on that, motherf—."

The UFC has yet to hand down punishment to Lesnar, noting in a statement that "there is a full fair legal review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed" under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy. But Hunt knows the kind of penalties he would like to see given to the "cheaters" of the MMA world.
"Make them banned for five or 10 years. There goes your career," Hunt said. "Five, 10 years, you have no career left and not only that, you lose all of your money. You're done as a fighter. That'll stop you from doing it. That's what I want to see done. I won't be a part of any company who says ‘we don't mind you cheating or doing this or that,' otherwise then every monkey will be (cheating)."
Hunt's interview on "The MMA Hour" comes near the 3:20:20 mark in the video below. (Strong language included, obviously.)
