Fábio Maldonado was unable to leave the Octagon at UFC Rio 3 with the victory over his compatriot Glover Teixeira. But, despite the setback and having agreed to face the athlete from Minas Gerais at the last minute, he ended up being rewarded.
For his warrior spirit that suffered harsh punishment from Glover and still continued in the duel, Maldonado was rewarded by the UFC with a bonus offered by the organization.
“Good or bad news, I share it on Facebook with my fans and friends. A UFC check just arrived in the mail at home, and, for the fourth time, even though I lost – and what a blow I got, right? – the UFC paid me more than if I had won the fight. Thank you to the Fertitta brothers, Dana White and Joe Silva. When I boxed, I never saw this happen before,” Maldonado posted on his Facebook profile.
