Taura MMA fighters complain of pay, promotion issues, Taura criticizes ‘lack of patience’

At least four fighters have yet to receive full or partial payment from Taura MMA for bouts that took place on its previous two events.

Marcelo Golm, Paulo Sergio Santos and Deivison Ribeiro, who competed at Taura MMA 11 on Oct. 30 in Kissimmee, Fla., are among those who have yet to be paid by the promotion, MMA Fighting has learned.

One athlete who fought at Taura MMA 10, which took place one week before Taura 11 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, said he received only a portion of his purse for his bout.
