They'd lost already, so, barring injury, they'd already blown the chance at the big contract. He wasn't taking anything away there other than the chance to chill in the house and train for a few more weeks. I get why he made the big speech and threw them out, because you don't want to have a million fights in the house and get someone hurt, but if he was really pissed he wouldn't have aired the whole deal and then give them a fight on the final, thereby rewarding them with a chance to make a name for themselves. And I would almost gurantee that if it's a good fight, one or both will be back in UFC again. He's a business man first and foremost, and a good one at that.
