The Nevada Athletic Commission is going to have to cut Diego Lopes a check after Friday’s hearing … sort of. Lopes was fined $5,000 when he hopped over the fence after his UFC 300 finish of Sodiq Yusuff in April. Friday, the NAC cut that suspension in half in an adjudication with Lopes. Officially, his fine will be $2,500 plus legal fees of $157.04. Because the commission already withheld $5,000 from Lopes, which was 5 percent of his $100,000 purse, he’s due the difference. At a prior hearing, NAC executive director Jeff Mullen said UFC CEO Dana White said he’d pay Lopes’ fine.
