White told MMAjunkie that while it’s a rarity that bonus money stayed behind, the new method is a guarantee that all the money set aside for the awards will go out the door.
“It only happened a couple times,” White told MMAjunkie following Saturday’s UFC 170 pay-per-view at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. “I started playing with this thing and started to realize, because we’re doing so many fights, how much money it was – it’s like $9.8 million. I want every dime of that $9.8 million to go out the door.”
White said he and company CEO Lorenzo Fertitta hatched the plan.
“The way it works (now) is, money goes out the door,” White said. “I don’t want there to be a situation where there was no submission, there was no this, there was no that. In this setup, it’s impossible for a bonus not to go out – unless the fights suck so bad one night.”
