Dana White says Belfort won’t receive his show money for UFC St. Louis

UFC Fight Night 24 has come and gone, but the aftermath of its pre-fight losses are still being felt by at least one fighter. Vitor Belfort was set to face Uriah Hall in the co-main event, but Hall ended up pulling out on weigh-in day because of complications arising from his weight cut. Belfort made weight, and the UFC scrambled to get a last-minute replacement.

According to UFC president Dana White, a replacement was found, but “The Phenom” turned it down. White went on to say that Belfort also refused a fight on this weekend’s UFC 220 card, as well.
