Mark Hunt Unable to Leave New Zealand, UFC 160 Bout in Jeopardy

If you follow Mark Hunt’s twitter account (which I suggest you do), then you may already aware of the situation that’s currently unfolding. Over the past few days, the “Super Samoan” has been documenting his issues in getting a new VISA, and also revealed he was recently arrested while assisting a friend. Now, Hunt has revealed he was denied boarding at the airport in a new series of tweets.

 

Now, with UFC 160 just days away, Mark Hunt’s scheduled battle with Junior Dos Santos appears to be in serious trouble. I hope that either Hunt’s legal issues can be resolved, or that Dana White’s been holding a fighter in his back pocket. As it stands, things aren’t looking good.
