Reebok Money and Performance bonuses
Conor McGregor wins in Reebok Money and Performance bonuses, too
Fighters in the UFC are compensated via several means including a contracted amount to show and win, sometimes locker room bonuses of varying amounts, performance bonuses, Reebok money, and for the most elite fighters, a cut of the PPV.
Four $50,000 performance bonuses are given out at each UFC, traditionally one bonus each to the fighters in the Fight of the Night, and then one each to winners in two outstanding fights.
The UFC has not followed the boxing PPV model, with a single huge draw at the top, and faceless boxers in the prelims. Sometimes a performance bonus or even two come from the lowly UFC Fight Pass prelims.
However, at UFC 202, the biggest names on the card delivered the most.
$50,000 Fight of the Night
Conor McGregor defeated Nate Diaz by Majority Decision (47-47, 48-47, 47-47
$50,000 Performance of the Night
Anthony Johnson defeated Glover Teixeira by KO (Punch, Round 1, 0:13)
$50,000 Performance of the Night
