Get ready for some serious cash rewards as Dana White unveils a game-changing bonus system for UFC 324 and beyond! The fight game just got a whole lot more lucrative.
Dan Hiergesell, our trusted MMA expert with over 15 years of experience, brings us the scoop. With a massive $7.7 billion broadcast deal with Paramount, rumors of revamped bonuses were swirling. And now, Dana White has confirmed the details, just in time for UFC 324.
But here's where it gets controversial... White revealed a new post-fight bonus structure, doubling the usual $50,000 awards to a whopping $100,000! That's right, fighters can now earn a life-changing sum for their incredible performances.
And that's not all. There's an additional bonus for those who don't quite make the $100k mark. If a fighter finishes a fight via knockout or submission, they'll still walk away with a cool $25,000. It's a win-win situation, ensuring that even more fighters get their share of the spotlight and the cash.
UFC 324, taking place in the heart of Sin City, Las Vegas, will be a historic night. Not only will it feature the highly anticipated main event between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title, but it will also mark UFC's debut on Paramount+ and the first event with this groundbreaking bonus structure.
