Mark Hunt: ‘Sorry About My Unemployment Tweet… I Was Hungry’
So, the reason for Mark Hunt tweeting that he was unemployed has been revealed… and it’s a strange one to say the least.
Earlier this week Hunt posted several messages on his Twitter account making it sound like he had been terminated from the UFC:
Well I’m unemployed that sucks

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

But, that news was shot out of the water by UFC president Dana White who fired back saying the news was “false” and “the most stupid thing he’s ever heard””.
While White’s comments gave fans some reassurance, Hunt himself still remained quiet about the situation until last night when he offered a vague explanation to his fans:
Looking forward to japan sept 20 troops sorry about unemployment tweet I was hungry no carbs

With all that all cleared up, we can get back to looking forward to the 40-year olds collision with TUF 10 winner Roy Nelson in September. Hunt vs. Nelson are set to headline UFC Fight Night 52 which takes place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
With the headliner still in place, UFN 52’s official card still looks as followed:
Mark Hunt vs. Roy Nelson
Rin Nakai vs. Miesha Tate
Takanori Gomi vs. Myles Jury
Urijah Faber vs. Masanori Kanehara
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. opponent TBA
Hyun Gyu Lim vs. Takenori Sato
Kyoji Horiguchi vs. opponent TBA
Norifumi Yamamoto vs. opponent TBA
