UFC 304 recently concluded in Manchester. Traditionally, the promotion gives out bonuses after each event. So, Tom Aspinall and Michael Parkin received $100,000 each for "Performance of the Night". And Paddy Pimblett received 200,000 for winning the same nomination.
UFC CEO Dana White, in announcing the winners, said it's the last time he's giving out doubled bonuses.
"You can thank everybody in this card for that. Nobody fought hard. Nobody rushed to win early. 'Damn it, I want that $100,000.' Seven damn refereeing decisions in a row!", - said the functionary.

As a reminder, earlier bonuses for winning the Fight of the Night or Performance of the Night category were $50,000.
