UFC fighters competing at UFC 300 on Saturday are in store for a major prize if they put on a show.
During Thursday's UFC 300 press conference, UFC BMF champion Justin Gaethje and his opponent Max Holloway implored UFC president Dana White to raise the $50,000 performance bonuses to $300,000 on Saturday night, and the boss obliged:
Gaethje's title defense against Holloway is one of three title fights on Saturday's star-studded card. UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili will take on Yan Xionan in the co-main event, and the night is headlined by light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira taking on former champion Jamahal Hill.
