A UFC prodigy was booed, headliners jawed and a jacked newbie promised to paint the Octagon canvas in blood.
Already being billed as the greatest card in UFC history, Sunday’s stacked Las Vegas blockbuster has suddenly had all stakes raised to a new level.That has to be Dana White agreeing to dish out $US1.2 million in bonuses.
While White usually hands out four $50K performance bonuses at events, he was asked early in proceedings by a journalist about a fight week suggestion from BMF champ Justin Gaethje that it be upped to $300,000. Said image, of course, is one Pereira has recently claimed for himself as his stocks have risen in line with claiming gold in two divisions.Then towards the end of the press conference, the pair went at it again when Hill was asked specifically by media about the oversized piece dangling around his neck.To which, via an interpreter, the champ responded: “I will make you remember this moment.
Despite boasting just three appearances in the UFC, the former college wrestling star has been placed on the Pay-Per-View portion of the card for his fight with Cody Brundage. Elsewhere, BMF champ Gaethje – who initially called for the bonuses to be raised – said he was “f…ing pumped” to be on the card.
UFC veteran Jim Miller agreed, saying that there was nobody he wanted to stand opposite from on a night where so much cash was being handed out than Bobby Green.The UFC's biggest stars were all for it. Photo: Fox Sports
