UFC 230 performance bonuses and highlights
Israel Adesanya, Jared Cannonier, Jacare Souze, and Chris Weidman each won $50,000 performance bonuses at UFC 230.
In addition to being paid a fixed amount to show and another, usually equal amount to win, each UFC event also awards four $50,000 Performance Bonuses. Usually, there is a Fight of the Night in which both fighters are given a performance bonus, and a performance bonus to the winner in two fights. “Performance Bonus” means the fight made you say “HOLY F@$%ING $#!@.”
