"Not the guy you want to upset" - Brendan Schaub explains why the UFC "needs to be careful" around "legit hard-nosed gangster" Mark Hunt

Brendan Schaub believes the UFC should be careful in their dealings with Mark Hunt as 'The Super Samoan' is not someone you would want on your bad side.

In the latest episode of The Schaub Show, 'Big Brown' talked about the former UFC heavyweight. Schaub said that the word 'gangster' gets thrown around a lot in MMA, but in the fighting world, no one is a better poster boy for that description than Hunt:

"The UFC needs to be careful because... Mark Hunt, you're talking about a real OG. As tough as they get. Probably top five toughest guys to ever enter the octagon... Mark Hunt is a legit hard-nosed gangster when it comes to fighting... When you talk about 'gangster', Mark Hunt is your posterboy... But the UFC, anybody out there, we're too loosey-goosey with the term' gangster'. 'Khamzat, gangster.' 'Nate Diaz, gangster.' ...The UFC is messing with a different 'gangster'. It's not the guy you wanna upset, man. He's a real one. Legend."

In the quote, Schaub was referring to the 48-year-old's legal dispute with the UFC. The story goes back to UFC 200 when 'The Super Samoan' took on Brock Lesnar in a heavyweight showdown.

Hunt lost the fight via unanimous decision but the result was later overturned to a no contest as Lesnar tested positive for PEDs.

The 48-year-old sued the UFC, claiming that the promotion was aware of Lesnar's PED usage prior to the event and covered it up so that the fight could go ahead.

Mark Hunt scores his first boxing victory

@philipoconnor @andyste123 Hunto Rd 4 KO. Was an entertaining bout. Not well promoted. https://t.co/5YsDV8TB5Z

On November 5, Hunt competed in his fourth ever professional boxing match. 'The Super Samoan' took on former Rugby star Sonny Bill Williams and knocked him out in the first round.

With the victory, Hunt finally managed to enter the win column in his boxing career. The 48-year-old now has a record of 1-2-1. Interestingly, Hunt's MMA career also has more losses than wins. 'The Super Samoan' has a record of 13-14-1(1).

Nevertheless, the record does not do justice to Hunt's capability as a fighter. The 48-year-old was one of the scariest knockout artists in the promotion. During his stint in the UFC, Hunt scored victories over fighters like Derrick Lewis, Frank Mir, Roy Nelson, Stefan Struve and Ben Rothwell.
