Mixed martial artists competing at UFC 300 will have more reasons to fight the best fight of their lives as UFC CEO and President Dana White increased the bonuses for the event this Sunday, April 14 (Philippine time), at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The performance bonus of $50,000 was significantly increased to $300,000 for the special event headlined by UFC light heavyweight world champion Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill.
“What should it be raised to? $300k it’s done,” Dana White said after being urged in the pre-fight press conference to raise the bonuses.
