UFC head Dana White said that the increase in bonuses from $50,000 to $100,000 does not result in more spectacular fights, so he will not be doing it from now on.
Recall that at the press conference before the UFC 304 tournament, the fighters asked White to increase bonuses, and he agreed.
Upping the bonuses doesn't change anything. It doesn't make anybody fight any harder. I'm not doing this again. Ever. Today was the last day that I'm doing that. Not saying that in the future the bonuses couldn't get up. But I'm not gonna be at a press conference and say "200! 300!" ever again.
