5 former opponents of Mark Hunt who tested positive for PEDs in their career

#2. UFC 180: Mark Hunt vs. Fabricio Werdum

Mark Hunt threw down with Fabricio Werdum back in November 2014. The pair headlined the event at UFC 180 with the interim heavyweight championship belt hanging in the balance.

A flying knee to his face sent Mark Hunt sprawling on the mats before Fabricio Werdum landed a series of hard shots on the fallen Kiwi. The fight came to an end in the second round.

Ahead of his headliner against Alexey Oleinik UFC Fight Night 136, Fabricio Werdum turned in a positive test for Trenbolone, an anabolic steroid, and its metabolite Epitrenbolone in an out-of-competition test.

Although the test marked the first positive result of his career, he was slapped with a hefty punishment. USADA handed him a two-year suspension, which was subsequently cut short by 10 months.

#1. UFC 200: Mark Hunt vs. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar, following a lengthy period of retirement, was booked to go toe-to-toe with Mark Hunt at UFC 200. He went on to secure a victory over Hunt by way of a unanimous decision. However, PED infringements cost him his win as the result was overturned to a no contest.

Lesnar turned in positive tests for hydroxy-clomiphene and clomiphene in out-of-competition and in-competition drug tests that were conducted by USADA. In addition to the change in the final result of his fight against Mark Hunt, Brock Lesnar was slapped with a year-long suspension and a $250,000 fine.

The fine made for 10% of the $2.5M purse that he collected after outperforming Mark Hunt. It was that incident which prompted Hunt to file a lawsuit and fight the UFC, among others, in the legal octagon.
