WINNIPEG – Dana White appears to be sympathetic to Ricardo Lamas ‘ plight of late. The UFC president on Saturday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Lamas (13-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) will be paid his show money for next month’s UFC 162 event in Las Vegas – even though he’s not likely to remain on the card. Lamas was scheduled to fight “The Korean Zombie,” Chan Sung Jung (13-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC), on July 6. The winner likely was going to move into the top featherweight contender position to meet the winner of a scheduled Aug. 3 bout between champ Jose Aldo and Anthony Pettis . But a Pettis knee injury forced him out of the title fight, and that left a pair of options. And the UFC went with Jung instead of Lamas to head to UFC 163 in Rio de Janeiro to challenge for the title. When asked why the UFC went with Jung, who has not fought since May 2012 due to injury, got the shot over Lamas, who has a four-fight win streak and has beaten two fighters who at one point were offered title shots with Aldo, White’s response was simple.
