He gets paid if he makes weight. I would take that and then get a fight scheduled asap. UFC should also provide him with his win bonus.

If he was paid the win bonus automatically as well I would agree. No fighter I can think of has declined the fight after opponent missed weight and there's a reason for that. It's a problem

The system is flawed and I felt the same way when it happened to Brooks recently

UFC needs to step in and make a couple changes to how this works imo

10 pounds is un unacceptable

Edit

For the vast majority of fighters it just simply isn't a viable option to turn down the fight after opponent misses weight when I think that sucks

What's up with Beltran and Soto, is that late notice catchweight or something?

Soto was a last minute replacement.

Excited for tonight. I missed the first fight but a marco polo reyes fight is a great start

[Dave_S]

didn't watch early prelims.

Hope RDA wins, and Lamas as well. Oliveira has done well on the past when he missed weight. Also rooting for Dariush.

[Dave_S]

Didn't see that one coming, good win for Soto.
