For most people, squaring up against Brock Lesnar simply isn't fair. The guy is a 6-foot-3 behemoth who weighs almost 300 pounds, and has won the UFC and WWE titles. Needless to day, Brock specializes in how to "bring the pain" to a new level for anyone who dares to test him. When Mark Hunt stepped into The Octagon to face Lesnar at UFC 200 on July 9, many thought that he was in over his head as the underdog even though Lesnar had not competed in an MMA fight since December 2011.

When Hunt lost to Lesnar by unanimous decision, we weren't so shocked by the news if we didn't see the fight. But when the news surfaced about Lesnar failing a drug test amongst many that he took before the fight, Hunt understandably felt cheated and stated that he wanted half of Lesnar's $2.5 million purse for the fight. He even threatened to leave the UFC if he didn't get his just due upon Lesnar anti-doping violation.

But Hunt changed his mind early Saturday morning about what he demanded upon hearing the news what doctors found in Lesnar's system. He tweeted that he wants not just half, but all of Lesnar's $2.5 million purse instead, which was more than three times what Hunt received for the fight.

Do you agree that he deserves a piece or the entire purse that Lesnar received for getting over on Hunt and the UFC with PEDs? Leave a comment below.
