The cage jumping issue is less about the fighter's safety and more about the crowd.

"It is against the law to either pay someone to drop charges or change their testimony, or to accept money to do so."
What happens if I take money in exchange for dropping criminal charges against someone?
Depending on the jurisdiction, this is classified as witness tampering. (And/or bribery, etc.)

That example is someone pumping rounds into a vehicle with a shotgun, the state is going to want to prosecute the shit out of that regardless of the victim's intentions. In Conor's case, he would be offering a settlement for the civil case. and generally the DA would also be involved and agree to it as well since they're the ones that have to drop the charges.
Of course it could just be a Florida thing
The DA is exclusively responsible for criminal charges and totally uninvolved in a civil case. If they think there is sufficient evidence/motivation for criminal prosecution, the antipathy of the victim is irrelevant. Conor has already been charged with felony strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief. At this point it's out of the victim's hands, and if he changes his story in exchange for money that's a huge, prosecutable no-no.
In a civil case the two parties could do whatever they want. I haven't read anything about the existence of a civil suit relative to this event.

Wonderboy fought great. He landed some big shots at the end of the first, but Pettis doesn't go away easily. Thompson looked confident and aggressive.
Pettis with a monster shot with the KO. He absorbed a lot of punishment and doled out his fair share before the winning blow.
Welcome back to the big show and enjoy eating food instead of playing the weightcut game.

It's a win/win for Dana and the UFC as it either builds up the popularity and legitimacy of Cejudo/125, bringing in more revenue to the company or the opposite.
The UFC would rather sell cards with 125 main events and big draws instead of fringe #13 vs #15 contenders at say 170.

the age range of big cuts isn't that long, most of them try it for just to long
even as a champ/champ don't think Henry would be much of a draw,
but he more into the smack talk game than DJ
odd thing is,
think if Henry wins, they will move to close FW
but will keep it around if he looses
