On the surface, it seemed like a bad deal for Mark Godbeer . After Derrick Lewis withdrew from his UFC 216 bout with Fabricio Werdum, the UFC tapped Walt Harris – the man originally slated to fight Godbeer – to step in as a replacement. That left Godbeer as the lone healthy heavyweight without a fight on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. But especially after seeing how Harris fared against Werdum, maybe Godbeer didn’t get such a bad deal after all. According to a report from MMAUno.com , Godbeer says he received his full show and win money for the canceled bout. And according to a statement Godbeer posted to Facebook, he may be rebooked sooner rather than later.
