Last night’s UFC Vegas 5 card ended up with only 8 fights. A number of bouts were canceled due to fighters being withdrawn from competition both before and during the weigh-ins and during the actual show.
In the past, when fighters have had their bouts canceled, but they have still weighed in successfully, the UFC has compensated those fighters with their full ‘show money’. However, according to UFC President Dana White, that might not be the case for those involved in canceled fights from last night.
At his post-fight press conference White stated that: Fighters that didn’t fight on Saturday due to cancellations got paid “some money,” but not full show money and that they’re trying to get them rebooked.
