Amidst complaints from several fighters who were advocating for a bonus increase for the historic UFC 300 card, Dana White made the announcement during the UFC 300 press conference…
That he elevated the bonuses from $50k to $300k each!
The decision has been met with cheers from all fighters, including from one far away – Conor McGregor.
McGregor applauded White’s decision to increase the bonus amount, as it signifies a “life-changing” amount of money:
Huge shout out to Dana White and the UFC upping the bonuses to $300k!
Life changing money for many on the card.To look after your fighters is paramount!
God speed Dana and team at UFC, onwards and upwards!What a time to be alive!

He followed it up with another excited post:
