Mark Hunt never wore a suit...not even to dinners at Ferrari

EDIT: I typed Mark hunt as I was reading a UFC article, I actually mean James Hunt.
Other sports have some form of business casual dress code, but it appears most wear a suit. Same in the work place, usually business casual, but there is always a time to wear a suit, such as a high level meeting or special event. I am sure Mark Hunt didn't care, but I would feel awkward if everyone else is wearing a suit a the Ferrari dinners and I wasn't.

All the other guys probably told Kenny "Hey we're all going to wear suit and tie to the presser" so he wore one not wanting to look bad.

Yeah you can pretty much compare it to press conference where everyone is wearing team shirts and you are the only one who doesn't.

I'm sorry I meant James Hunt, I was reading a UFC article in between this and Mark Hunt was in the article.


Do a bit of reading on old James, he was quite the character...but he could drive.

I have nothing against suits, but no one ever dressed like that on a press conference, it's just another sign of his arrogance, everyone is representing sponsors and teams here and he's like "I'm ken roczen, a fucking motocross legend", maybe it's just me but I'm already sick of this guy.
Kenny has said he really likes the way some of the NFL and UFC athletes dress at press conferences before. I think it's a great step forward professionally. I know for a fact that Dungey has some custom tailored suits he could sport if he chose to.

Also, you are correct in saying that Kenny wore the suit to be arrogant, flaunt his position and make the other riders feel inferior. I'd do the same damn thing if I was there! I want some 90's drama and flair brought back to the sport, so I love it. Personally, I'm cheering for Dungey Saturday night, but Kenny adds to and elevates this whole thing by doing what he does.

Yeah Kenny is good for the sport, there's no doubt about that. It will be a pleasure to watch him fail in 2017 after all these big words. Can't wait.

The last press conference of last year he was in his underwear drinking a beer, now he's in a suit and tie. Kenny will do whatever he wants.

And all you clowns are wondering why this sport is losing all its outside sponsors. I say what Kenny is doing is a good thing for the sport and its a great way of trying elevate and show more class into a sport that desperately needs more outside sponsors. NFL, NBA, MLB don't seem to have a problem with all their athletes wearing suits. And those sports a really struggling aren't they.

Kenny looks great in that suit. They should all be in suits for press conferences, especially the biggest one of the year.
