UFC: Why did Joselyne Edwards lose 20% of her prize money?

Panama Joselyn Edwards obtained this weekend his fourth victory in the UFCafter defeating Lucie Pudilová by split decision in the women’s bantamweight fight at UFC Fight Night in Kansas City.

Edwards added his third straight win after the judges scored it 29-28, 28-29, 29-28.

Despite the victory, Edwards lost 20% of the bag struggles due to some inconveniences he had with his weight.

The fight was set at 136 pounds, and Pacoreña came in at 136.5. In the first attempt, he weighed 137, but managed to lose weight.

This situation resulted in him not being able to fully collect his fees in the Octagon.

As reported by totalsportal.com, heThe purse per fight for a fighter of Edwards’ caliber is $30,000while the win bonus amounts to the same figure.

Pudilová, meanwhile, would earn about $38,000 to see action on the weekend card.

Another situation that made the triumph of Panama bitter is that not everyone saw her victory on the cards.

Pudilova’s trainer, John Kavanagh, other fighters, commentators as well as fans expressed their disapproval on social media.

“Supposedly the referees don’t watch the fights. It’s a shame”wrote fighter Jasmine Jasudavicius.

However, the Panamanian continues to add to her record and make history in the premier mixed martial arts company in the world.
