Filed under: News , UFC , Videos Featherweight Charles Rosa said the promotion compensated him in spite of his canceled fight against Mizuto Hirota at UFC Fight Night 117. “Luckily, they made it right and took care of me,” Rosa told MMAjunkie after his scratch in Saitama, Japan, which hosted the FXX-televised event Friday at the hallowed Saitama Super Arena. “I’m really happy with the UFC and the way they handled it.” Although Rosa did not specify how he was compensated, the promotion often pays out “show money” – usually the contracted purse, albeit without any potential “win money” – to fighters whose opponents are scratched at the last minute due to medical issues. “Obviously, it was out of their hands,” Rosa said. “It wasn’t their fault – it was my opponent’s fault.” Hirota (18-8-2 MMA, 1-3-1 UFC) came in four pounds over the allowed limit and teetered on the scale at the event’s official weigh-ins
