After a UFC 300 which kept all its promises on Saturday in Las Vegas, the American fighter Max Holloway, winner of Justin Gaethje by KO in the 5th round, won two bonuses of 300,000 dollars rewarding the “performance of the evening” and the “fight of the evening”.
An exceptional event, exceptional bonuses. As Dana White always has good ideas (and a lot of money) to raise the temperature before a UFC evening, the boss of the prestigious MMA organization announced the color before the UFC 300 scheduled for Saturday in Las Vegas: the bonuses would be 300,000 dollars and not 50,000 dollars as is usually the case.
A tempting sum that was enough to motivate the fighters present at the T-Mobile Arena. Needless to say, there was a knockout in the air… The fans were not disappointed.
Un bonus aussi pour Jiří Procházka
If Alex Pereira could dream of a bonus after knocking out Jamahal Hill in the first round with a devastating hook, the big winner of the evening is called Max Holloway. The Hawaiian fighter (32 years old) won two bonuses after his demonstration against Justin Gaethje. Winner thanks to a monumental last-second knockout during the 5th round, the man who won the symbolic “BMF” (“Baddest Mother Fucker”) belt was awarded the tidy sum of $600,000 by Dana White.
He gets the bonus for the “performance of the evening” but also the bonus for the “fight of the evening”, which allows his opponent, Justin Gaethje to console himself for his defeat with 300,000 dollars more in his bank account . The third bonus of the evening goes to Jiří Procházka, who also takes a “performance of the evening” for finishing Aleksandar Rakic.
