Brock Lesnar has found trouble in the court and now, it’s not one but two lawsuits. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like he’ll be getting out easy as neither of them are negligible. So, what’s going on with the WWE and UFC star? Perhaps, his rivalry with Mark Hunt can be a clue for starters.

Mark Hunt fought the fighter at UFC 200 where their fight came to a draw that was later overturned in Lesnar’s favor as a unanimous decision victory. Ever since Hunt has been sour and looking for vengeance as he filed a lawsuit against the promotion and Lesnar. And now, Vince McMahon‘s troubled past has come to haunt Lesnar and Hunt won’t miss a chance of dragging Dana White and Lesnar together.

Mark Hunt originally alleged that Lesner had abused PEDs in their UFC 200 match. He called Dana White‘s promotion a “ripoff” company that didn’t check its athletes. And his claim turned out to be true when Lesnar tested positive for a banned substance post-fight. He was subsequently suspended for a whole year by the USADA and the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Now, in a different lawsuit against Vince McMahon, Lesnar was named as a “WWE and UFC star” who was involved in the sexual misconduct against a former WWE staff member, Janele Grant. Grant also accused McMahon of trafficking her to employees of the organization.

Seeing all of this get reported all at once made Mark Hunt happy about Lesnar’s future. After all, it doesn’t look like he’s about to have a great time. “U going to be joining this fool brock lesnar @danawhite @ufc karma is going to sting your as* so hard this year,” he wrote in an Instagram post’s caption making sure Dana White felt the hit of it too.

The post itself, a tweet by MMA journalist Mike Russell who reported that Lesnar “admitted under oath that, contrary to his contract, he made $8-million per UFC bout “win lose or draw.””  Clearly, the journalist wasn’t lying when he said Lesnar is about to have a rough year but he won’t be the only one.

Once Hunt filed a lawsuit against the UFC, he was caught in Dana White’s crosshairs and the two never had good professional relationships again. Meanwhile, because of the lawsuit, it would appear that other promotions had blacklisted the fighter. Or at least that’s what he reported.
