Dana White Ends Surprise UFC Bonus Increases After UFC 304 Disappointments

White declares no more spur-of-the-moment bonus hikes, citing lack of fighter motivation despite doubled rewards at recent event.

  • UFC 304 saw seven consecutive fights end in decisions, disappointing fans and UFC President Dana White.
  • White had doubled the fight bonuses to $100,000, but noted it did not lead to more exciting performances.
  • Paddy Pimblett, Tom Aspinall, and Mick Parkin were the only fighters to earn the increased bonuses.
  • White stated future bonus increases will be preplanned and not decided at press conferences.
  • The event's late start time in Manchester, England, was also a point of contention among fighters and fans.
