Beginning tonight at UFC 324, new bonuses will be on the line for all of the fighters competing on the card. UFC President and CEO Dana White told the Sports Business Journal that the four fighters who earn fight-of-the-night and performance-of-the-night bonuses will be increased to $100,000 each. Previously, fighters would earn $50,000 for those bonuses.
Additionally, the UFC is adding a new bonus: any fighter who wins by knockout or submission will receive $25,000, provided they aren’t already selected for a fight-of-the-night or performance-of-the-night bonus. This news comes as the UFC begins a seven-year, $1.1 billion deal with Paramount+.
