Ian McCall is leaving UFC 201 without an official bout, but he’ll get paid like a winning fighter.

On Thursday McCall (13-5-1 MMA, 2-3-1 UFC) was pulled from tonight’s UFC 201 event after opponent Justin Scoggins (11-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) struggled during a weight cut and was deemed unable to fight.

Their bout, which was slated for the pay-per-view main card at Philips Arena in Atlanta, was ultimately scrapped altogether. McCall was initially told he’d be paid his fight purse (“show” money) if he made weight and was available as a backup in case one of the card’s other flyweight fights fell apart.

Although McCall didn’t get a fill-in opportunity, he’ll get both his fight purse and his “win” bonus, a UFC official confirmed with MMAjunkie. Additionally, Scoggins will be paid nothing, the official said.

The amount of McCall’s contracted purse wasn’t disclosed (official payout amounts will be available from the Georgia State Athletic and Entertainment Commission on Monday). However, for his most recent bout – a January 2015 decision loss to John Lineker – earned a fight purse of $16,000. His win bonus would’ve paid an additional $16,000.

McCall, who’s ranked No. 7 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings, told MMAjunkie earlier this week that the bout cancellation was frustrating but also the result of the sport’s weight-cutting culture (see the video above).

“As much as I like Justin, I want to be a (expletive) and say something, but whatever,” he said. “Weight-cutting isn’t good for you, and if you don’t do it right – and he’s young, so he’s probably stupid about it. But he’s a good fighter, so hopefully this won’t tarnish his name too much.

“It’s weird that I feel bad for him, but this weight-cutting (expletive) is horrible for you. I’m just getting it done because I’m getting paid.”
