The matter is that Verhoeven requested more than a million dollars from the promotion. This was reported by the organization's vice-president, Hunter Campbell. He also said that in the end, Rico decided to 'focus on boxing.'

Earlier, heavyweight Derrick Lewis announced that he had agreed to a fight with Verhoeven at the UFC 324 tournament in Las Vegas, but the bout was never organized.
