UK promotion sets $2,000 ‘bounty’ bonus structure
Today UK promotion Cage Warriors announced a different kind of bonus structure based on 10 finishes and beginning at their seventieth event this Saturday.
The UFC first instituted post-event bonuses in 2006 and the bonuses have dramatically changed the lives for some fortunate winners. The idea was to act as an incentive for fighters to go for the finish and fight harder.
Today UK promotion Cage Warriors announced a different kind of bonus structure based on 10 finishes and beginning at their seventieth event this Saturday:
Starting with Cage Warriors 70, which takes place Saturday in Dublin, any fighter on the promotion’s cards who ends a fight with one of 10 of what it has deemed to be the rarest of finishes will earn a $2,000 bonus.
Cage Warriors CEO Graham Boylan revealed the new bonus plan to MMAjunkie on Friday and said the awards will be available to any fighter on the card, regardless of their placement on the show.
The $2,000 bounty will be available for the following finishes: Head kick knockout, twister, knee bar, heel hook, gogoplata, flying knee knockout, Superman punch knockout, knockout in less than 60 seconds, spinning knockout and slam knockout.
