UFC interim heavyweight champion
TomAspinall raises his stock every time he steps in the Octagon,and he upped his bank account by $100,00 on Saturday with afirst-round knockout over
CurtisBlaydes. While Dana White still seems set on making the
JonJones vs.
StipeMiocic fight, Aspinall has only raised the pressure on Jones tofight him for the undisputed title.
It was a good night for heavyweights as
Michael“Mick” Parkin also took home a $100,000 bonus for hisdevastating first-round knockout of
LukaszBrzeski. The undefeated Parkin (10-0) could find moreopportunities in the future as he creeps into the Top 15.
White revealed at the post-fight press conference that UFC 304would likely be the last time bonuses will be above $50,000.
“You can thank everyone on this card for that,” White said. “Nobodyfought any harder. There was no sense of urgency. ‘Holy sh*t, Iwant the $100,000.’ Seven straight f*cking decisions.”
