Diego Brandao won’t make as much money as he was hoping for after Fight Nights Global 73.
The Brazilian fighter, who faced Akhmet Aliev in the main event in Kaspiysk, Dagestan, on Sept. 4, was fined 30 percent of his purse for "not sporting behavior,” FNG matchmaker Artem Hallanov told MMA Fighting. Twitter user VestnikMMA first reported the news.
The promotion does not disclose how much Brandao was paid to compete, but the fighter told MMA Fighting after FNG 73 that he was making six figures per fight at Fight Nights Global.
