Tbh Moicano last fight wasn't great. He made it boring with all that grappling. Jalin is 6'3 at lightweight though. I'm sure Jalin will have good distance management. And Moicano likes MONEY, maybe he'll put on a show.
It's a joke that the bonuses have been $50k since _2013._ If the amount had kept up with inflation the bonuses would currently be $68k and that doesn't account for how much more money the UFC makes now. The bonuses for every card going forward should be something like $85k if not $100k.
Agreed especially since they only give out 4 normally and sometimes it's just 2 or no one gets one. Yet dana brags about sold out arenas every week
@@michaeltmackii8054Exactly ! 50k is ridiculous nowadays, it should be 100k by now without a question.
Mate this is america wages keeping up with inflation just isn't a thing.
Forget keeping up with inflation, the UFC could increase fighter pay through it's live gate numbers and other revenue sources alone without even giving them a percentage of TV or sponsorship deals. This company made 1.3 Billion dollars last year, but these fighters will never fight for what should be theirs, so why even care. It's just sad.
I agree @ 100k the ufc could do that and still be plenty fine (I assume)
some of the prelim/early prelim fights are straight up fighting for twice their show money

Well more than twice their show money. Bo Nickal is making like 14/14 on his contender series contract lol
Honestly ive always thought if they wanted events to be more exciting in general they should have a mandatory finish bonus. If you always got paid more for a finish it gives people more incentive to not coast to a win
Takes away from skill if people get too wreck-less It’s still a sport at the end of the day

@@TrumpsaTerroristChangeMyMindFair point. Regardless the normal Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night bonuses should be increased. They've been $50,000 for over 10 years now. If they'd just kept pace with inflation they should be $68,000 and that doesn't account for how much more the UFC makes now compared to 2013. Bonuses should be $75,000 for the prelims and $100,000 for the main card.
@@jordancave3089 also why are you simping for corporations let the fighters be paid for god sake
better vibes this time around, guys actually seem like friends in this one
This just goes to show that Dana is completely capable of paying his fighters more but keeps them grounded because of his greed then makes them feel like the bad guy because “they should be grateful to be in the UFC”
Do you know it's not dana who is running the company from behind? Paying people?

@@enayetchowdhury1434ofc
Dana only ageed to 300$ 😂
Genius move by Dana, he knew this decision would be a good one
Pretty sure it was a staged question. For a big organization like the UFC, Dana wouldn’t be able to make a giant financial decision like that on his own, especially not on the spot. That decision was made in a boardroom ahead of time. Reporter was either a plant or Dana was going to announce it later, reporter just coincidentally teed it up.
Predicting this now, A RECORD NUMBER OF FINISHES ARE ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!!!!! Watch how crazy this card will be
Saying Moicano "curses too much" is a dumbass take. How many other fighters have vulgar language or talk some wild shit? They beat each other up for a living ffs. Update: I wasn't aware it was supposed to be referencing comments on one of their older videos. Either way, I think it's a dumb comment.
They have the weirdest takes here some times
And how many of those fighters that are cursing nonstop actually have good trash talk that people are interested in listening too? None stop Cursing is just a sign of a limited vocabulary and no creativity.
It was a joke made about the comments on their previous UFC 300 video. People were saying they curse too much in the comments
That take should be "fucking illegal".
They’re foreigners so they don’t understand free speech.
Yea it'll make for annoying post fight interviews of fighters begging for the bonus
The UFC should make a rule that the fighters are ineligible to receive the bonus if they ask for it.

@@kieranfarr7509 Maybe the UFC could get refs to deduct points for repeated eye pokes and toes in cages, then again maybe not.
Wait .. so clarify is it 300k for fight of the night and 300 k for a performance of the night bonus … cause justin has gotten both of those bonuses in multiple fights , wouldn’t count out justin earning an extra 600 k if that’s the case
Lol 😂 3:25 love the subtle dig at the comment section from the previous UFC 300 video saying Moicano curses to much after they were saying y’all curse to much
100k for finishes, 300k for the 2 performances of the night, a million for both fighters that are in the fight of the night
When those cage doors close, NOT ONE of those fighter is thinking about $300K bonus. They’re focused in on the man or woman trying to beat their ass. You’re overthinking this bonus. They’ll think about the bonus AFTER a good win or KO. They got away from Knockout of the night due to ESPN deeming it too “violent” sounding. Bleeding hearts.
I agree. However, it will affect Gameplans for some
love yalls take on everything and how yall keep it real as a group. in all my years of being an MMA fan ive never connected with a group of dudes as well as yall
CONGRATULATIONS ON 1 MILLION GUYS!
Everyone who gets a finish should get the 50k, not just this weekend but in the future as well. Hopefully, for the fighters' sake, this is the beginning of being paid what they deserve. Ufc makes enough money off each card and sponsors to pay each fighter handsomely. The prelims should also get separate bonuses, not as high as main card but still some bonus because I've seen a few fights on prelims that's been better than some main card fights and they don't get the credit they deserve because they was the 3rd prelims fight for example
Over the last few months the prelims have usually been more entertaining than the main cards, especially for Fight Nights
@BiggieTrismegistus facts bro. It's a shame they don't get the recognition until they're on the main card 😒
13:04 he still my boy 😂😂😂
Last time I was this early, I was watching Oleg Tektarov and Tank Abbot
Max went crazy 600k
Good call out on it being sad that the fighters were like excited children in a classroom at the prospect of $300K. To average people like us, that’s a lot, but you’ll be hard pressed to put together a room of the top NBA players, for example, and have them so excited at the prospect of having a chance to win $300K. Fighters are paid far too little and have way more dangerous of a job compared to other professional athletes.
This is going to even make Aljo throwing spinning back kick.
That little ticker at the bottom of your advertisement is a nice little touch to help skip. Thank you
Poatan- "why are they so excited about 300 "
Excellent review video
Wild seeing this video after the event. 300 Delivered!
Tbf offering more money for a great performance is only ever going to light a fire under people to perform better.
Those are the type of MMA friends u should have, just chilling vibing
Hearing that on the presser made me go and actually buy the card just to avoid the hassle of my usual streaming options...
Listen it's a very real incentive, no one is fighting less hard after hearing that.
Yes. Yes it did.
Dana might give more performance and fight of the night bonuses but the situation is is that the higher up on the card somebody is the more they stand to lose if they do try to do anything based upon really just trying to get that bonus as opposed to get the win because getting the wind is in the long run going to get them more money losing a championship of any type is going to cost you so obviously you're not going to do anything to jeopardize that but of course Justin and Max are going to throw down regardless and so probably to a good degree are Weili and Yan, especially if Weil keeps it on the feet. And definitely there should always be a performance bonus strictly just on a finish because then you have people who are really a bit more motivated to go for it and it's a huge incentive for those with low show pay .. so maybe a 10k - 12k finish bonus
About time y'all did another fight companion
Theres also the factor that they might not wanna end it to early, you coukd end up with an event that looks like a ufc 4 game trying ti stack knock downs
Everybody gonna be standing in the middle octagon swinging
Imo it changed everything as there was not a boring fight on the card (Outside of Aljo, but imo Aljo is comfortable where he’s at and what he’s getting paid so you can’t pay him A million to be exciting he’s perfectly fine with his pay) The sad part is it 100% backfired somewhat on the UFC as it showed them that their fighters truly are starving out there and were willing to let it all go for that extra 300k Bonus and the even sadder part was they weren’t your basic fighters who were on the come up that are starving hard but a majority of them were all Champions of their Divisions at one point and some even Interim champions as well, some even as far as having defended the belt. But the UFC doesn’t see that therefore they won’t change the pay and the whole Fighter Pay issue is still a main part of the UFC. It’s like a f’d up deal as the fighter chooses to be paid way less then their worth just for the fame that follows the UFC, which is why I’m truly hoping that another organization eventually can rival them on that front as it’s widely known that other organizations pay their fighters very well and what they’re actually worth. And pay them like their lives are legit on the line. Only issue is Fighters never choose that promotion if ever offered as the second a UFC contracts is offered they eat it up regardless of how bad the pay is. Can you imagine how much better the fights become if Dana were to make the 300k Bonus a permanent thing? I think it 100% creates the best fights possible as everyone chases it and with it on the line there’s not much of the boring Lay -n- Pray that is a huge part of the sport especially after the Dagastani fighters.
Good on you for not caving on doing the impression bro.
This genuinely makes me very nervous for Cody.
No, Gaetjhe said 100, someone said 300, and Holloway a second later said 300. I don’t who was the first that said 300.
The 300k wasn't to celebrate UFC 300. It was to celebrate the fighter settlement.
I like how ppl dont know that was 100% setup. "Oh just a random question. Well i guess i will ask ppl and just go with 300k!"
fr lol so weird how people cant see it lmao tf
That shit bout to go right back to 50 after this event
300K changes everything ! Cant wait so hyped for tmrw 😆 I actually thought this was already announced for some reason 😅 like I saw it a dream 😶
Any fighter that gets that 300K bonus needs to shout out journalist. He really made his question count rather than the usual sh*tty "when are you gonna have another card in X, Dana?" questions
The 300K is certainly a huge incentive but I'd rather they gave 50K to anyone who gets a finish. It wouldn't be as big an incentive for people like Gaethje but it would be a much bigger one for the prelim fighters (would probably be cheaper too)
Every fight on this card can be its own main event...🔥
Justin the only guy asking for only 100k
Them cheering for that bonus was the equivalent to me thanking a robber for not taking my cups
Aljo jumped up like he was gonna get one 🤣🤣 not unless Katar smacks his braids loose
Dana doing this is really gonna bring out the best in all the fighters AND he gave the bonuses to Bo Nickal already! Am I the only one who heard Curb Your Enthusiasm music when he came out at weigh-ins?! All those fighters fighting before him WAY more deserving of that spot!
Imma tell you this shiiiiit right now… Diego Lopes is going for the finish 100% of the time and might become a star after he gets it. That kid is going to try to change his life tomorrow, I can feel it
100k for every finish would have been better than 300k to only 4 people.
I never bought a PPV but this might be my first one because 300k bonuses are gonna make the fights bangers!!
Never understood why nobody was saying 300k for ufc 300 until now
Is the fight companion just for members?
Nope! Free for everyone
Dana looked annoyed after agreeing to 300k bonuses even though it’s pocket change compared to the revenue made from the ticket sales excluding ppv sales
Dana may have accidentally lit the fire and created the greatest card in combat sports history
"accidentally"
Some guys will throw caution to the wind due to the large bonus but some fighters will just try to get the win. Like Cody Garbrant will try to KO DF in a brutal way to get that bonus instead of fighting smart
So early that the fighters haven't started their final cutdown before getting onto the scale later
The $50k was/is the biggest joke of a reward in professional sports history.
The guy who asked that question became the most popular guy among the fighters that night
And will also never be allowed back into a press conference ever again. Just like all the rest that dared to ask provocative and interesting questions.
@@GengoSenmon atleast we have John Morgan to ask stupid questions Everytime
@@GengoSenmon Whistle blowers/people who stand up for whats right always pay the price. Respect to the person who asked the question and even more if they are not allowed to come to a presser again. I got everyone ay my workplace a paid hour off work and pizza because my management talks shit. It did cost me promotion opportunities in my department. I was proud of myself. The person who asked the question should be proud of themselves too. Hopefully theyll use that to get a bunch of interviews with fighters who know what they did and gain a benefit alongside the BS
It’s so smart because Dana got a ton of positive press and he’s going to end up giving less total bonuses than times when he gives out a bonus to every finish
Luke Thomas just broke this down. Geez it sucks how nearsighted I felt thinking this was a groundbreaking move by Dana
So I guess we won't be getting an "Unfamiliars" episode for this one, huh? 😂
People arguing that Dana throwing out 300k bonus means he can pay fighters better need to understand this is already a top 10 selling PPV with days to go, so they are going to have a record revenue from the PPV & this has drawn more attention than before so they probably make that additional $1 million back in additional sales. Maybe a way to incentive fighters in the future would be to have the performance bonus linked to the number of PPV buys, say $1 from every buy goes into the performance bonus pot, that way it is an incentive to every fighter on the card to help sell it.
Scraps from the table in the scale of things.
I actually think announcing 300k bonuses is going to get more buys. I don’t usually buy ppv but I’m having people over so we’re gonna be buying.
dana loved every second of that applause he got
"If Dana can throw 300k bonuses out, why the fuck can't we get paid better?" -every fighter from here on out. Dana fucked up. Especially how he said it. 300k is a drop in the bucket to the UFC.
It's ridiculous that the bonus amount has been $50,000 for over 10 years now. If they'd kept pace with inflation since 2013 they would be $68,000 currently and that doesn't even consider how much more money the UFC makes now.
It really is baffling, especially when you hear time and time again how fighters had/have to take out loans and shit, sleep on people's couches, etc just to train and show up to fight. How they break down and cry if they land a 50k bonus..... them see Dana hand put snacks of bills to influencers like it's nothing to him. It okay though.... I, as well as many, will set sail Saturday night. Fuck Dana.
@@BiggieTrismegistusstop acting like these fighters are "underpaid". Do you get a $50k bonus for a good night at work?
@danelynch7171 "a good night at work"..... what a stupid comment. Are these fighters getting paid to train? Cut weight? Travel to the event? Are the coaches to train them get paid by company who host a "another sell out event at xxx Arena, we broke the gate record here in xxx state."? No. Hell does the UFC pay for the hotels the fighters and coaches are staying at? You're an absolute buffoon if you think ufc fighters are getting paid what they put themselves through for our entertainment.
I knew some people would flip this to make Dana the bad guy. Lmao he's offering 6X bonus money for a huge card
Got a good laugh after Dana, having just agreed to raise the bonus from 50k to 300k, had a few seconds pause before proclaiming, " Don't ask me any more questions..." In response to him agreeing to a further 2 propositions put to him by the media in the literal 2 questions which preceded the aforementioned bonus raise request. You got to appreciate both the generosity Dana showed by granting 3 hugely significant requests in a row, all massively beneficial to all the fighters (& potentially life changing to those who make less than 50k per fight) ... just as much as I appreciated his brutal honesty at the realisation of the costs his promises will incur. He basically meant he wants to say yes to all questions but he'll get an earful off the owners lol.
Make KO bonus higher than the others! Provide incentive to fight the way fans want to see it! Fight fans prefer stand up fights and KO's, provide the fighters incentive to do so!
Holloway and gaethje really deserved that 300k. Not a fight that good in a while.
My views on bonuses. Since the 50k has been a mainstay number for over a decade, it’s not absurd to say they can afford more. I think every event the bonuses should go up by 500$. Around 46? Events a year so 46*500 = 23000 (extra a year added to the new bonus) so 73k for 2025, 96k for 2026. Even after ten years the bonus will stilll be under 300k which they’ve now shown they can afford. And in ten years time, a 273k bonus might not even mean as much as it does today. Also a tiered bonus system. Have a general bonus pool, either fan driver or sponsors or something. Then split the pool amongst all finishes. There needs to be more incentive for finishes later the apex cards are trash. Ufc fighters starting to fight like bellator fighters.
Appreciate the quantitative analysis. You forget the qualitative variables though. Not only has the UFC thrived financially by being cheap and exploitative to their fighters for decades (and will continue to until the fighters are brave enough to unionize), they are about to take a major financial hit from the lawsuit, AND they were relatively recently acquired by Endeavor. Dana needs to impress his new boss, Ari, with year-over-year growth metrics.
I’ve never been more excited for a card in my life
300K for a fight bonus that was easily accepted at a press conference is off in a multitude of ways : 1) Looks like it was scripted prior to or fake. I also wouldn't be surprised if the UFC goes back on that number or puts in something in the fine print where only the fight of the night gets 300K or wtv. 2) It would feel like a slap in the face to any of the fighters who have been in fights just before and immediately after UFC300. Just because someone is on the 300 card, they automatically deserve 6 times the normal fight bonus as any other card? There's already constant negative press on fighter pay in the UFC and not only are you giving a huge increase on a single card in form of fight bonus, but you seemingly accept it on the fly during a press conference? To my first point, I really hope this was scripted. 3) To expand on the second point, what's going to happen after UFC300? Will they go back to 50k fight bonuses? They would have to meet somewhere in the middle, if they don't that would really be a bad look.
Pizza ordering fight LOL
I love that I hope he holds to it
Alex is.the only one sitting stoned faced heading about the bonus
Alex Pereira's reaction 😂
With Bidenflation, 50K is like 30K nowadays
I just wish people didn’t just want their fav stars and everyone on the roster to be a millionaire. So many people are not wanting to fight simply because of bigger paydays and it’s a big source of complaints and the fans know that. Yet want extremely higher pay. I’m not saying they should be broke by any means. Someone will say that’s what I’m saying with no willingness to understand my perspective like a kid. Fighters should have that hunger since you can clearly see money is more important than legacy for all fighters now
My answer to the question posed in the title: FUCK no! Bahahahahaha
People really sleeping on Zhang vs Yan. Just like they slept on Jj vs Zhang. I literally bought vip tickets to that fight because i knew we were going to see something special
“Moicano wants money” “He curses too much” What is this?
If Jiri and Rakic have a psycho, blood war, I'm pretty sure the winner will get a bonus.
Did he not say there's 1.2 million in bonus money, so realistically 2 fights will win the bonus
This is gonna be an amazing card
I think it worked 😂 Seriously though, that was greatest event in modern combat sports history
This card got 10x better when Dana said “Done”
