Hunt asks for UFC release if not awarded half of Lesnar's purse

Mark Hunt wants to be compensated if Brock Lesnar did indeed fight him while using a banned substance.

The UFC announced Friday that they had been informed by the USADA about a potential doping violation from Lesnar, and Hunt told Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com that if he isn't awarded half of the fight purse he wants to be released.

"The cheaters get a slap on the wrist and walk off," Hunt said. "What penalty or deterrent is there to make them think twice? Nothing. And the [Nevada Athletic Commission], why should these [expletive] get anything? They are not the ones who had to fight with Lesnar or lose [to him]. I lost."

Prior to their fight, Hunt told FOX Sports Australia that he didn't think it was fair Lesnar was exempt from giving four months notice for drug testing prior to a fight, something the UFC requires in its anti-doping policy. Hunt also added he believed Lesnar was "juiced to the gills."

Lesnar defeated Hunt via unanimous decision last Saturday at UFC 200.
