One of the two UFC Atlantic City fights cancelled on Friday was a flyweight bout between Ulka Sasaki and Magomed Bibulatov. A lingering back injury for Bibulatov caused him to withdraw from the card, and that obviously meant Sasaki was also not going to compete on Saturday night.

Neither fighter weighed in, so one would assume that’s a reason Sasaki didn’t get his base fight purse. In fact, as Ariel Helwani reported on Friday, Sasaki is only getting about half of his purse as compensation.

Ulka Sasaki, who was supposed to fight Magomed Bibulatov tomorrow night before Bibulatov withdrew due to an injured back, was told by the UFC he’ll be getting 10k for…​

so the guy gets to fly back to japan with a 10k check. according to air canada that is a 25 hour flight each way fuckin ouch. the guy gets to spend 50 hours on a plane this week and get s ripped off for half his show money.probably has to pay for his corner men too

They need to iron out concrete, understood, CONSISTENT rules for this type of thing. They just do what they want and that's not right.

If it's not your fault the fight was cancelled, you should get your full purse. That 20k or whatever means more to this guy than it does to these shitty millionaires.

GOOD! He's lucky he even got that. I hope they decide against paying that too

War Egg!



PS - Either organize and do something about it or shut the
hell up. Don't wanna hear it. Amazon is running a sale on Vaseline.
Maybe Egg will get him a coupon along with your 20% off Reebok
coupon book. And he should be thankful to get it

Weird they paid Leslie Smith win & show. What a shit show.
So Leslie mentioned that New Jersey mandates that there's a clause in any bout agreements in their state that entitled her to her full amount of pay. That's also why she didn't want to risk fighting and losing 30k if she didn't happen to win.

Ulka not weighing in means that he didn't fulfilled his obligations and therefore, contractually, he wasn't due the same type of deal.

It's bullshit by the UFC but I get it.
