RIO DE JANEIRO – Welterweight Erick Silva may not have left Saturday
night’s UFC 142 event as a winner, but he’ll be paid like one.
At the evening’s post-event press conference at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC
Arena, UFC president Dana White told MMAjunkie.com
Silva will receive his win bonus despite being saddled with a
disqualification loss.
“We’re going to pay him like he won the fight,” White told MMAjunkie.com.
