Appeals Court Upholds Decision Grounding Mark Hunt's Lawsuit Against UFC
Briefly

Mark Hunt's legal challenge against the UFC and Brock Lesnar was dismissed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals due to insufficient evidence of damages. Hunt's lawsuit arose from a doping violation related to their fight at UFC 200 in 2016, where Lesnar failed drug tests. The appeals court upheld a lower court's ruling, emphasizing Hunt's failure to prove any physical, emotional, economic, or reputational harm. The UFC has yet to comment, indicating this may conclude Hunt's legal efforts.
"Unfortunately, Hunt does not point to any evidence in the record of any physical, emotional, economic, or reputational damage or harm attributable to Defendants-Appellees' conduct."
"Indeed, while maintaining that such evidence does in fact exist, Hunt acknowledged both in his reply brief and at argument that evidence of damages has not yet been 'adequately presented.'"
