I’m told @RusHammerMMA went up to Johnson afterwards and said he will make sure MJ gets the full 20% back bc he is appreciative of the fact that MJ took the fight on short notice. The rules are Lobov has to take the money but he gave Johnson his word he’ll get it back to him.

Lobov is a guy I've often viewed as a punchline cuz if it wasn't for his friendship with McConor he wouldn't even be in the UFC, but I got mad respect for him for this move.
