At UFC 296, Dana White awarded a “Fight of the Night” bonus to Irene Aldana and Karol Rosa, and “Performance of the Night” bonuses to Josh Emmett, Ariane Lipski, and Shamil Gaziev, each receiving an extra $50,000.
UFC 296? Oh, it was a blast. Fighters left Vegas with pockets heavier than when they arrived. And not just chump change, we’re talking a sweet stack of extra cash.
Dana White, the big boss at UFC, spilled the beans after the event. He dished out a “Fight of the Night” bonus and three “Performance of the Night” bonuses. Talk about a payday!
The bantamweight clash? Irene Aldana versus Karol Rosa. Pure fireworks. Aldana emerged victorious, and both warriors pocketed an extra $50k. Fight of the Year material, no doubt.
Josh Emmett, man, that guy’s fists are like sledgehammers. His knockout of Bryce Mitchell? Brutal. Mitchell hit the mat hard, and Emmett’s bank account hit high with another $50k.
But wait, there’s more. Ariane Lipski, she’s a beast. Choked out Casey O’Neill in round two and snagged her own $50,000 bonus. And let’s not forget Shamil Gaziev. He finished Martin Buday and cashed in another hefty $50,000 check.
So, yeah, UFC 296? It was more than just fights. It was a night of knockouts, submissions, and some serious moolah being handed out. Just another day in the wild world of UFC.
