UFC 300 witnessed the re -export of Justin Gaethje. He will protect the BMF belt before rival Max Holloway. Before the event, Gaethje half jokingly said that he wanted the bonus for himself at UFC 300 would have to increase more “a little” compared to the $ 50,000 level as at the moment.
“I have repeatedly received the Fight of the Night, Performance of the Night. The bonus for each title is $ 50,000. This time it is UFC 300, so I think the bonus must also increase,” Gaethje said. He currently holds the record for receiving bonuses from UFC at major events.
According to statistics from UFC, Justin Gaethje has 7 bonuses for the Fight of the Night title. He also has 5 times to receive Performance of the Night. This figure reflects the level of Gaethje, as well as the ability to play dedicated in the matches he played.
When asked if Gaethje wanted how much the bonus increased, he was not afraid to give: at least $ 100,000. In addition, because this is the UFC 300 event, he wants to be able to receive a reward of up to 300,000 USD, 6 times higher than the reward for ordinary boxers.
Before UFC 300, Gaethje's last time appeared at UFC 291. He won the knock-out against Dustin Poirier at the beginning of the second half. That victory helped Gaethje receive the BMF belt of the tournament. He also received $ 50,000 award for the title of Performance of the Night.
