The fighters that were scheduled to compete on the canceled UFC London card will be reportedly be paid by the UFC.<\/p>\n
The promotion was slated to return to the Big Smoke on March 21. Regrettably, the coronavirus pandemic made this card impossible. The UFC briefly attempted to book a short-notice replacement card on US soil, but this plan also fell through.<\/p>\n
When the UFC London event was canceled, there was immediate question from fighters, fans and media alike as to whether the athletes scheduled to compete on the card would receive payment. These fighters had already completed expensive fight camps, and through no fault of their own, were suddenly without the paydays they expected. It was a bad situation.<\/p>\n
The good news is that several UFC London fighters have now confirmed that they will paid for the canceled event. It’s not clear whether they’re receiving their show\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>win money, just their show money, or another sum altogether, but it does sound like they’ll be paid.<\/p>\n Marvin Vettori was one such fighter, confirming on Twitter that the UFC is “taking care” of him.<\/p>\n Thank to the @ufc<\/a> for taking care of me for the London card situation, I\u2019ve been all in from day 1 in this and it\u2019s good to see that even in hard times like these the work im doing is being recognized. \u2014 Marvin Vettori (@MarvinVettori) April 1, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
