Arman Tsarukyan has lost out on £28,400 for punching a fan en route to the octagon for his fight with Charles Oliveira at UFC 300.
The Russian, who beat his Brazilian opponent to move into title contention, hit the headlines for the wrong reasons after the huge fight in Las Vegas.
He was filmed on the cage walk when one of the crowd shouted something at him from close proximity.
Tsarukyan reacted instantly and tried to punch the spectator, throwing a right hand over the barrier before continuing on to the cage.
Now, the Nevada State Athletic Commission have withheld 20 per cent of his £126,000 earnings from the fight.
