UFC Fight Night 204 Bonuses: Every Finish in London Gets $50K Check

The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to London proved to be one of the promotion’s best events so far in 2022, and the the athletes on the card were compensated accordingly.

During the ESPN post-fight show, UFC president Dana White revealed that every fighter on the card who secured a finish would receive a $50,000 post-fight bonus. The promotion typically hands out four post-fight bonuses and has on a few occasions given out six. It probably didn’t hurt that the card, which took place at the O2 arena in London, was the highest-grossing event in venue history and the highest grossing Fight Night in UFC history, according to promotion officials.

“Nine bonuses tonight,” White said. "Every finish. “And I couldn’t be happier to do it.”

That includes the two winners at the top of the card, as Tom Aspinall pocketed an extra $50,000 for his first-round armlock submission of Alexander Volkov in the heavyweight headliner, while Arnold Allen earned an additional $50,000 for a first-round technical knockout win against Dan Hooker in the featherweight co-main event.

Seven others at UFC Fight Night 204 took home a $50,000 performance bonus: Paddy Pimblett, Molly McCann, Ilia Topuria, Makwan Amirkhani, Sergei Pavlovich, Paul Craig and Muhammad Mokaev.
