Hunt troubled over Lesnar's drug testing: 'We should all be on an even playing field'

Mark Hunt is not a fan of his next opponent's exemption from the UFC's drug policy.

Upon his return to the UFC, Hunt's upcoming combatant, Brock Lesnar, has been exempted from the fighting promotion's policy of providing four month's notice to allow for random drug testing upon a return to the Octagon at UFC 200.

"We should all be on an even playing field for being tested, so we can make it an even fight on an even playing field to be honest," Hunt told Inside MMA of AXS TV on Friday. "I don't think it's good that someone gets an exemption, but I guess money talks these days right."

Hunt isn't pleased with the ruling, but he's not using it as an excuse, and hopes to take advantage of a fight with such magnitude and name recognition.

"I don't really care about whatever is happening with the testing. I'm looking at fighting and looking at winning the fight," said Hunt. "It's going to do nothing for my rankings, but it does everything for my profile of course because he's such a huge name."

As of June 21st, Lesnar had been tested five times in the two weeks prior, and UFC vice president of health and performance Jeff Novitzky expects more to come before the fight on July 9th.
