Scary! Fighters stipulate how much Alex Poatan will receive to 'save' UFC 303

Renato Moicano e Gilbert Durinho bet that Alex Poatán will receive a real 'jackpot' to 'save' the UFC 303. On Espaitec's 'Show Me The Money', the athletes stipulated the astronomical amount paid by the organization for the light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg.) to replace the injured player Conor McGregor. On June 29, the São Paulo native returns to the octagon for a rematch against Jiri Prochazka.

“The guy was on his way to Australia. He took his entire team to train. So, they call you and ask if you want to fight. You saw how happy he was (upon receiving the invitation). He will receive at least US$5 million (around R$27 million)”, said Durinho. “He’s living his best life. He's traveling the world, driving expensive cars, getting title shots. He's doing everything right. He's making a lot of money to save a card from Conor McGregor”, stated Moicano.

Hero of UFC 300, Poatan was hurriedly called to star in the June 29th event. The Brazilian took on the lead role in the show after the Irish star's injury was confirmed.

At the weekend, Alex measures forces with Jiri Prochazka. While the Brazilian is looking for his second title defense, the Czech wants to avenge the defeat he suffered against the São Paulo native last season, when he was overtaken in the fight for the belt, which was vacant at the time.
