It appears Mark Hunt has been dealt one final blow in his legal battle with the UFC, Dana Whiteand Brock Lesnar.
In a 27-page written opinion released Tuesday and obtained by MMA Junkie, U.S. District Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey concluded that Hunt failed to prove the UFC and White (then promotion president and now CEO) knowingly booked him in a fight with Lesnar while aware of Lesnar’s performance-enhancing drug use ahead of UFC 200 on July 9, 2016.
As a result, Dorsey dismissed what was left of Hunt’s lawsuit, which was first filed in 2017, dismissed in 2019, but then revived in 2021 by an appeals court. Hunt was trying to prove fraud, battery, aiding-and-abetting battery, and civil conspiracy claims that were revived two years ago. But Dorsey granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment on all claims, meaning the case is dismissed.
