Alan Patrick explains why he begged for bonus at UFC Belem, dreams of Joe Lauzon fight

BELEM, Brazil — Alan Patrick put out a passionate request for a $50,000 bonus to buy a house in his post-fight interview at UFC Belem, moments after his win over Damir Hadzovic, but he left the Mangueirinho Arena without extra cash.

Patrick is riding a three-fight winning streak in the UFC and holds a 5-1 record inside the Octagon, and admits that he thought he would be able to have his own house at this point of his career.

“I expected that, but we live in Brazil and it’s surreal here,” Patrick said after the win.
