Fighters Set To Be Compensated For UFC London

Published 04/01/2020, 3:52 PM EDT

According to reports, fighters on the UFC London card will be compensated after the event was canceled. COVID-19 has successfully managed to ‘Knock-down’ major sporting events, and UFC London was no exception. The card was set for March 21st at the ‘Big-smoke’. However, because of various social-distancing protocols, this event never came into fruition.

Fighters, media, and fans raised valid concerns regarding the compensation of fighters on the card. However, keeping in mind the expensive training camps, personal chefs and the risks, the organization will restitute the fighters. Unfortunately, UFC had to cancel the main event involving Tyron Woodley and Leon Edwards, resulting in a major financial blow.

Several fighters have come out to support the UFC after news broke out of the compensation.
“Thanks to the UFC for taking care of me for the London card situation, I’ve been all in from day 1 in this and it’s good to see that even in hard times like these the work I’m doing is being recognized,” Said Marvin Vettori

Welterweight star Nicolas Dalby revealed that his manager and the promoters are in talks of a remuneration.

“All I know is that my manager is in dialogue with the UFC. I think what’s going on is, this is a huge situation and they had to cancel more cards. They’re trying to take a big picture, look at how they’re going to do things. I don’t know if there is insurance in place and they have to take account of that. They’re taking their time and they’re doing that because they want to able to make a proper decision,” said Dalby

The pandemic has caused several complications for the UFC. From unpaid fighters to canceled events, the list of problems seems to grow for MMA’s top promotion. But as always, Dana White seems to have a solution!
