The UFC CEO, Dana White, has recently had trouble regarding leaked messages between him and Lorenzo Fertitta. The messages between the two were all the way back from 2014. Some of the words they used were quite disturbing for people. It was revealed that White and the Fertitta brothers were badmouthing the current UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones over contract negotiations, even going as far as calling him a “Sc*mbag”.

But Jones wasn’t the only fighter who was the target of an onslaught of rants between the two, as MMA fighter Mark Hunt was also mentioned in the texts.

Mark Hunt and the UFC didn’t have the best of relationships, as the two parties were involved in a lawsuit against each other for quite some time. The fighter sued the UFC as he accused them of deliberately delaying Brock Lesnar’s failed drug test in order to proceed with their fight. However, the Samoan knockout machine lost both his case and the fight against the UFC and Brock Lesnar.

Now, some of the texts between Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta were leaked at the time when Hunt proceeded with his case. White’s text wrote, “Okay. Yeah. He’s a F**head,” with Fertitta replying to the text which wrote, “bury that f**er.”

The retired UFC heavyweight took to his social media to call out Dana White, Brock Lesnar, and Vince McMahon. In the post, he wrote, “How nice more beautiful anti trust documents leaked @danawhite and his cohorts such nice people jail is calling u jus like its calling lesnar and mcmahon.”

There have been new revelations about Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon, too. Back when Lesnar had just arrived at WWE, reporter Terri Runnels alleged that he exposed himself in her presence. These claims were made amidst McMahon’s own troubles of trafficking. He is being sued by Janel Grant, one of the women who received a payout during the 2022 hush money issue.

Coming back to Hunt, he seems to have caught a second breath to go after the UFC. Further, in a previous post, Hunt shared a picture of Dana White posing with David Feldman- Founder and President of BKFC. Hunt captioned it, “There goes my bareknuckle career.” Apart from Hunt, Jon Jones was also mentioned in the text messages between White and Fertitta.
