According to UFC president Dana White, the two fighters will be compensated even though the bout was canceled. Both fighters made weight Friday, but the fight was ultimately scrapped when “Jacare” tested positive for COVID-19. “Yeah, we’ll get them figured out,” White confirmed at the UFC 249 post-fight press conference, when asked if Souza and Hall would be paid. Upon his arrival in Jacksonville on Wednesday, Souza, 40, notified UFC testing staff a family member had previously had COVID-19.
