The win bonus from his purse is being withheld prior to a decision on a fine being reached, at least as far as I can tell. I'd think it would be unlikey he'd lose that much of the extra 25K they've withheld. And he can still work for other promotions. All he's lost is his fans, his credibility, and the opportunity (for now) to fight in the premiere organization in his sport. What a twit.

The ref almost needed a crowbar to get him off, but maybe Babalu didn't feel that either... Nevertheless, I find the resulting penalties a bit too extreme. The guy might as well file for his own bankruptcy right now. Yeah, and saying “and he [the ref] shook my shoulder” would be a bit of an understatement too.

He told everyone he wanted to teach Heath a lesson after the fight. He’s a liar too, then. He told everyone he wanted to teach Heath a lesson after the fight.
