UFC Legend Suggests $1 Million Bonuses To Reduce Boring Fights In UFC
Former UFC light heavyweight champion and fan favorite Rampage Jackson has sparked debate across the MMA community with his bold proposal — increasing UFC fight bonuses to $1 million each. Jackson believes this dramatic increase could motivate fighters to deliver more exciting performances and reduce the number of lackluster bouts seen in recent years.
Currently, the UFC rewards its athletes with $50,000 bonuses for Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night, a system that has been in place for years. While these payouts are significant, Rampage argues they aren’t enough considering the risks fighters take and the entertainment value fans expect.
Jackson, known for his explosive knockouts and high-energy fighting style, claimed that larger incentives would push athletes to take more chances inside the Octagon rather than playing it safe. His comments come amid ongoing discussions about fighter pay and the balance between entertainment and competition in MMA.
