UFC Fight Night 112 performance bonuses and highlights
Kevin Lee, Tim Boetsch, Dominick Reyes, Jeremy Kimball won $50,000 performance bonuses at UFC Fight Night 112.
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 $#!@.”
One of the primary differences between the UFC model and the boxing model is the depth of the card. Sometimes the best fights are all the way down on the UFC Fight Pass prelims. However, for the fifth event in a row, the main event won a performance bonus. And the very first fight on the prelims won one too. Note: This awarded awarded four performance bonuses, rather than the traditional two performance bonuses and one fight of the night bonus.
