UFC Fight Night 132 performance bonuses and highlights
Watch Ovince Saint Preux, Song Yadong, Shane Young, and Rolando Dy earn $50,000 performance bonuses at UFC Fight Night 132.
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 greatest fight isn’t the main event. This event, three of the four bonuses went to prelim fighters, including one of the most devastating elbows, ever.
