UFC champion Israel Adesanya has called for the promotion to increase their $50,000 performance bonuses.
Adesanya is no stranger to receiving a UFC performance bonus as the middleweight king has racked up eight $50,000 checks in 15 appearances for the organisation. The UFC typically hands out two or three 'Knockout of the Night' bonuses and one 'Fight of the Night' bonus for each event they host, with all fighters who receive the bonus being awarded $50,000.
UFC boss Dana White has increased the bonus in the past as fighters who competed at UFC 100 in 2009 were granted $100,000 if they won a bonus. Fighters who competed at UFC 262 in May 2021 were also given $75,000 if they won a bonus after a public campaign from Tony Ferguson to increase the figure.
