News New UFC Restructured Bonuses!

So only one performance bonus now? One person just gets double the money it was better to split it between the fighters.
 
Should Be:

Any Finish = 3 UnderArmour Coupons
FON = Red Panties & 4 UnderArmour Coupons & Free Buffet At A Casino of Choice
POF = Poirier Louisiana Cajun Sauce & 3 UnderArmour Coupons & Chance to See Dana White Gamble At a Vegas Casino VIP

No. There's two performance bonus and a fight of the night bonus. 100k each. Have no idea where you got 1 performance bonus from.
 
Holy shit, they finally upped the bonuses! Actually a significant improvement for once. 25k guarantee per finish is huge. Fighters no longer have to worry about maybe or maybe not getting performance of the night even for knocking their opponent out. They'll definitely be chasing the finish more now.

This is, excellent news and not before time!
Knowing that if you KO or sub your opponent gets you 25,000dollars on top of your show + win money..... That's a big deal and also the other bonuses have doubled to 100k.

I like it it's about time.

Maybe these fight cards might start to become a, bit more like "Contender" nights....

and where did you get two from? It says performance bonus not performance bonuses.
 
Finishing bonuses are a great idea. I'm not sold on them making fighters try harder because we've seen guys at the highest level with everything on the line not show up but I still welcome it. $100k is appropriate too.

You're right. It's not clear in the OP but Ariel has tweeted that 400k will be given a total instead of 200k currently. He said 2 performance and a FOTN.
 
25k for a finish is fucking great.

Gonna be more people going for the kill instead of point fighting, especially the lesser paid guys on the prelims.

Let's fucking go.
 
Sick! ...

But dont be surprised after night full of finishes ..the UFC comes out with an amendment like..

Only main card fighters are available to receive this LOL .or some shit or like ranked fighters only.

12 fights tonight total .

12 X $25,000 = $300,000


Dana be like ...

After the 12th finish in a row...
 
This is good. It will place emphasis to not have fights like Khamzat vs DDP.

Control without incentive to finish shouldn't rewarded, and should be be penalized if anything.
I mean yeah... but it's kinda funny, considering Khamzat got his perfomance bonus in DDP fight.
 
Or because of the backlash of Gaethje’s comments to DC, UFC came up with this plan quickly to avoid a bad look
They just had two guys pass out on the scale, I don't think they care about looking bad. Also no way they do something like this because of a complaining fighter, no way.
 
So only one performance bonus now? One person just gets double the money it was better to split it between the fighters.
Well that was 200k overall, and this is 300k plus any other finishes.

And from a merit stand point having 1 fighter considered the top preformance of the night, makes more sense then 2.

Edit this was all false info its still 2 POTNs Dana Bless.

I like the 25k guaranteed for a finish.
 
They should've done this a long time ago, but at least they did it so kudos to them.

The only thing I wished they'd do is give an optional "Fight Of The Night" bonus at $250K per fighter ($500K split between 2) to reward fighters who put on a legendary epic war.

It would be completely outside of the "Performance" bonuses, but I think it would be a real nice way to reward fighters that are going through absolute hellfire and coming back to make something special for all us bloodthirsty heathens.
I really dont get what youre trying to say here? An increased bonus IS always an option Max got a 600k bonus not long ago. Tony said its bigger in texas and got the bonuses upped.
Whats the point of a statement for a bonus that doesnt actually happen 99% of the time? That'd be a huge dick move.
 
I cant see how anyone can make a negative out of this. You could potentially have full cards where everyone is getting some sort of bonus. You could get 100k for a decision war or 25k for a nice submission. We have no idea if they will stack these and its likely up to dana. Enjoy this one its good for the fighters and the fans.
