UFC star Rob Font was denied a PS40,000 performance bonus, after he became overweight during his fight against Chito Vera.
Font's loss by unanimous decision was felt even more in the fight, which took place in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The bantamweight was 2.5lbs heavier than the threshold.
UFC policy states that fighters who are overweight forfeit their right to win bonuses.
Font was therefore unable to receive a payment of $50,000 (PS40,000) for his bout.
Font scored 100 more strikes during the fight than his opponent in five rounds.
