Mark Hunt must have been in a good mood Friday when he demanded only half of Brock Lesnar's purse from UFC 200, because the Kiwi striker changed his mind early Saturday morning.
Hunt said Friday he would ask for his release from UFC if the organization didn't award him half of Lesnar's $2.5-million winnings from their July 9 bout. His comments came after USADA notified the UFC of a potential doping violation by Lesnar.
Lesnar, who previously called out Jon Jones' lack of professionalism after his positive drug test leading up to UFC 200, stated Friday he plans to "get to the bottom" of his potential doping issue.
