UFC Freedom 250 will deliver record-breaking post-fight bonus money this weekend, with fighters eligible to earn up to $425,000 in extra pay.
UFC president Dana White announced the boosted bonuses for the UFC Freedom 250 card during the UFC White House event, confirming that Performance of the Night checks are set at $425,000 and Fight of the Night bonuses at $400,000.
The bonuses are being funded by the UFC in partnership with Liberty Financial, adding major financial stakes to a seven-fight lineup.
UFC Freedom 250 will take place on the White House South Lawn and stream live on Paramount+. The main event features Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje, with Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane set as the co-headliner.
White helped plan most aspects of the UFC White House event and had previously promised a Washington D.C. takeover for this card, which has faced backlash and obstacles ahead of its staging.
