It’s going to rain money on UFC 300!
The value of UFC performance bonuses remained steady at $50,000 for a very long time, with a few rare exceptions. At Thursday’s press conference, fighters like BMF champ Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway raised their voices to increase the performance bonuses from $50,000 to $300,000.
White: “What should it be raised to?”
Fighters: “$300,000!”
White: “$300,000. It’s done!”
When UFC CEO Dana White agreed to increase the bonuses to $300,000, the fighters and crowd went wild. Check out the special moment in the player below!
