The UFC is slightly tweaking their bonus structure on fight nights effective immediately, announcing on Tuesday night that they're getting rid of the "Knockout of the Night" and "Submission of the Night" bonuses.
Up to four fighters will still earn $50,000 extra each event, but instead of the "KO" and "Submission" awards, the UFC will reward two fighters they deem to have the best performances on the card. The "Performer of the Night" awards are in addition to the still intact "Fight of the Night" awards.
The UFC's statement on the change is below:
"The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced today a modification to its live event bonuses. Effective immediately, UFC will award "Fight of the Night Bonuses" to each of the fighters in the best fight of the night, as well as additional "Performance of the Night Bonuses" to the two best individual performances on the card. The bonus amounts will remain $50,000. The "Performance of Night" bonuses will reward the athletes who put on the best and most exciting individual performances."
DON'T GO YET... WE SUGGEST THESE MMATORCH ARTICLES, TOO!
