Dana White: Pulling Mark Hunt from UFC Sydney Was to Protect Him from Himself

Published by Bleacher Report on Fri, 13 Oct 2017


UFC President Dana White told TMZ Sports on Thursday the company decided to remove Mark Hunt from its event in Sydney next month as a medical precaution."Sometimes, you gotta protect these guys from themselves and that's what we're looking into right now," White said.The decision to pull Hunt from his scheduled bout withMarcin Tyburaand replace him on the card withFabricio Werdumcame after the 43-year-old penned a piece for PlayersVoice titled "If I Die Fighting, That's Fine" that detailed his medical woes."My body is f--ked but my mind is still here," Hunt wrote.

The result has since been overturned to a no-contest.
