So according to this site (https://fightomic.com/ufc-finish-rates-by-weight-class/) the historical UFC stats are (as of february 1st):

Stoppages: 51.6% (32.4 (t)ko / 19.1 sub)
Decisions: 47.1%
Other (NC/DQ): 1.3%

Last 3 events:

Stoppages: 43.2% (29.7 (t)ko / 13.5 sub)
Decisions: 56.8%

So, it's obviously to soon to make any conclusions but do you think this bonus will make a difference?

I like the idea just because there's more money going to fighters but I don't think it will make a difference on the long run.

Once fighters smell blood they go for it, hard to think a guy is in there sure that he can finish a fight but chooses not to.
