Dana White shares info about 300

[Pequeño Corey]

So generous. Who needs institutional change when we have upgraded centennial event bonuses, (4) custom shorts, and blue canvas? Pink goof really pulled out all the stops on this one. Probably feeling good after they crushed it on that anti-trust suit and wanted to give something back.

 

[StonedLemur]

Dana caved and upped the bonuses to 300k, anyone hyped or nah?

Definitely, but its not gonna stay like that unfortunately sir.

 

[blaseblase]

300k every finish? Now thats how to incetivize fighters, specially at the lower end, even some higher.

The only lower end fighter on this card is Brundage

 

[AZZA B]

Very hyped knowing guys/gals won't be sleepwalking, laying & praying, or trying to point fight their way through fights.

My thoughts too!!! A big incentive for everyone to fight their arse off!!!

 

[JoeRowe]

Nothing on the new gloves?

 

[StonedLemur]

Mark Coleman will be the one to crown the BMF champ

300K bonuses

Blue canvas on Saturday

Blue canvas is only cool because of the WEC.

Classic U Fight Cheap and degenerate approach to money from the wife beater. The same kind of mentality that allows him to tip a waiter 10 grand while paying slap fighters 500 bucks to get CTE for him.

Throw multiple 300ks around as a shitty one-time gimmick, even if a random leg injury occurs, but then go back to giving guys ZERO bonuses for spectacular finishes on regular cards, simply because you play favorites.

Or better yet, deny guys any FOTN bonuses because their OPPONENT missed weight.

Lol that last thing sounds ridiculous. Did that really happen?

No sir...I think we've been lied to.

Mark Hunt thinks this is Dana's last hurrah before he goes to jail.

Surely money Moicano doesn't try to win by ground control again. Could make some fights more action packed/reckless

 

[Goodfella86]

It's not $300K per every finish. Dana said "$1.2M in bonuses" in his retort to Sodiq.

Still, I love it. Excitement has never been more incentivized. This card is stacked with exciting fighters, too.

Clearly happens regularly but you can't prove it because they don't officially announce it. Like all things U Fight Cheap, the 'no bonuses for people who miss weight' rule is selective - they sometimes just ignore it when one of their pets is involved. But they generally stick to it.

And that means their solution for not rewarding a guy who missed weight and was in FOTN is simply to fuck over the guy who did make weight as well.

 

[Dr Fong]

You are the most obsessed Dana hater on all of Sherdog lol
I admire your dedication

I genuinely take that as a compliment.

 

[Trabaho]

UfC 300 300 k bonus
Coleman is a hero saved his parents

I don't think it's for every finish though

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Good for Mark he deserves it

and

Credit is given for that one, and glad Coleman will also be there.​

 

[Belaya Smert]

OJ Simpson will not be in attendance

 

[jeff7b9]

i often hate dana, but +1 for this one (coleman)
the punk goof

I wouldn't credit that to much more than a broken clock being right twice a day.

It wasn't Dana's idea.
It just got handed to him on a silver platter and he managed to not fuck it up.

It's great that they are increasing the bonuses for this event, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of bad fights 100%. Every fighter knows a bonus is on the table and every fighter knows they get a win bonus, usually double their show (unless they negotiated straight pay). Yet we still see fighters not go for it - even in title fights. Maybe $300,000 is substantial enough to change that, but it just proves money isn't the only thing they need to lay it all out there.
