Alcantara awarded win bonus despite No Contest call

I think this is a pretty awesome move by the UFC - even though Alcantara ended up with a "No Contest" after his opponent, Nobre, was "unable to continue" *coughcough* Saturday night, Alcantara was still awarded his win bonus. Dana White tweeted during the fight that referee Dan M made a poor decision and didn't hide his disgust over Nobre, either.

 Despite being handed a highly controversial no contest for his scrap against Pedro Nobre, the planet’s premier mixed martial arts promotion awarded Yuri Alcantara (Pictured) his win bonus because they believe the bantamweight got a raw deal. UFC managing director of international development Marshall Zelaznik confirmed the news with MMAJunkie.
