Former two-time undisputed welterweight title challenger, Stephen Thompson has confirmed following multiple reports, that he has yet to receive his show money from the UFC, despite successfully making weight for a planned main card fight with Brazilian contender, Michel Pereira over the weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Thompson, the current number seven ranked welterweight contender, has been sidelined since he took main event honors at UFC Fight Night Orlando back in December of last year, returning to winning-ways in an eventual fourth round corner stoppage TKO win against Kevin Holland.
However, booked to return to the Octagon at UFC 291 over the course of the weekend in ‘The Beehive State’, Thompson saw a promoted welterweight clash on the main card of the event against the aforenoted, Pereira ultimately cancelled, after the Brazilian missed weight for the pairing by three pounds.
