Dana White has announced a huge boost to fighter bonuses for the upcoming UFC White House card, with more than triple the standard payouts on the line.
Speaking ahead of Sunday night’s event at the White House, White revealed a new sponsor has come on board for the card. World Liberty Financial will serve as a presenting partner for the UFC White House event and is directly fueling the bonus surge.
"World Liberty Financial will serve as a presenting partner and are adding another $250,000 to bonuses for the fighters that night," White said. He added, "Two fighters who earn Fight of the Night are going to earn $400,000 each." White also confirmed, "Then the two Performance [of the Night] bonuses will get $425,000 each. Congratulations everybody, good luck."
In total, fourteen fighters across seven bouts will be competing for $1.65 million in bonuses when the UFC White House card airs live on Paramount+ starting at 8 p.m. on Sunday night.
This marks another jump in incentive money since the start of the UFC’s broadcast deal with Paramount, when post-fight bonuses were doubled from $50,000 to $100,000 and a $25,000 finish bonus for knockouts or submissions was introduced.
