MONCTON, Canada – Artem Lobov vowed to return the 20 percent of Michael Johnson ’s purse that was fined when he missed weight for UFC Fight Night 138. Now that Johnson won their fight, though, it remains to be seen if it will happen. Johnson (19-13 MMA, 11-9 UFC) came in one pound over the featherweight limit after accepting the fight with Lobov (13-15-1 MMA, 2-5 UFC) on roughly two weeks’ notice. The commission is required to give Lobov the money, but he said he would give it back to Johnson because he understands he was on a tight schedule to make weight. The fight took place Saturday, and Johnson won a unanimous decision in the co-main event. “The Menace” said the money was taken out of his purse when he was paid post-fight, and now he’ll wait idly to see if Lobov sends him a check.
