Some fighters are reportedly happy, while others are pissed with how the UFC handled payouts for the now-cancelled UFC London event.
The promotion tried to press forward with their planned March 21st event at the initial peak of government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, they were forced to nix the card and rush fighters out of England as the country moved towards lockdown. Fighters, fans and the media have wondered how the UFC would care for the fighters who trained for a card that never happened.
Each fighter on the UFC London card was reportedly paid “no more than $20,000,” according to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani.
