Max Holloway became the new “BMF” champion at UFC 300, earning a total of $1,150,000 in “Performance of the Night” bonuses, including a one-night-only performance bonus raise from UFC CEO Dana White.
Max Holloway’s the new “BMF” champ. He’s also the biggest winner of UFC 300, thanks to a one-night-only performance bonus from UFC CEO Dana White.
Holloway demanded and got what he wanted. He knocked out Justin Gaethje and earned himself the “Fight of the Night” and “Performance of the Night” titles. This was all during UFC 300’s main event.
He bagged a cool $600,000, thanks to a double bonus. Gaethje, though on the losing side, didn’t walk away empty-handed. He pocketed a neat $300,000.
According to TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter, Holloway’s total earnings from “Performance of the Night” bonuses stand at $1,150,000. Gaethje’s not far behind. He’s raked in an extra $850,000 from performance bonuses.
UFC 300? It happened on a Saturday. The venue was the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card was broadcast live on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
Dana White’s generosity didn’t stop at Holloway and Gaethje. Jiří Procházka, a former UFC light heavyweight champ, also got a slice of the pie. He earned an extra $300,000 for his second-round stoppage of Aleksandar Rakic. This was on the preliminary card, mind you.
