LAS VEGAS – UFC CEO Dana White heard the fighters’ demands Thursday at the UFC 300 pre-fight news conference and obliged. After recent campaigns by Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway to increase the performance bonuses from $50,000 to $300,000, White was asked by MMA Junkie reporter Mike Bohn about the potential increase. The proposed question riled up a handful of the 26 fighters on stage at T-Mobile Arena, who nudged White into agreeing. “300, it’s done,” White said.
