LAS VEGAS – Earlier this week, in response to some recent complaints about fighter pay, UFC President Dana White floated the idea of eliminating fight-night bonuses and channeling that money to bigger base paydays for fighters. However, White today said at the pre-UFC 162 press conference that the organization isn’t currently close to implementing such a plan. Currently, the UFC gives out $50,000 bonuses for each event’s best knockout and best submission, as well as the best fight (which goes to both the winner and loser). The fight-night awards have gone as high as $129,000 in the past, and a handful of dual-award winners have banked some serious cash due to the bonus system. However, some fighters, both current and past, have recently complained about the difficulty in living on the salaries given to typical lower-level fighters, where base paydays can be $6,000 to show and an additional $6,000 to victorious. And on Monday, White offered a potentially significant adjustment. “You don’t like the structure? All right, we’ll pay the lower-level guys more money – no more f—ing bonuses,” he said.
