Mark Hunt: I’m out of a job, White: Hell no you’re not!!?!
Mark Hunt: “Not my choice guys but going from being exited at the prospects of the future of fighting to being unemployed in a day lol this sucks.”
UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt is a massive fan and management favorite, who is fighting Roy Nelson in the main event of UFC Fight Night 52 on Sept. 20, 2014, in Saitama, Japan.
Thus there was fan befuddlement when Hunt announced via Twitter that he was unemployed.

Hunt has declined to provide further details, beyond saying this is not a prank. Whether this was a miscommunication or an injury or what will doubtless be disclosed shortly, and reported right here on The UG.
