Championship Fighting Alliance is giving fighters an extra check to finish their bouts at his next event. Promoter Jorge de la Noval believes MMA has gotten too safe and said fighters who deliver a KO, TKO, or submission at CFA 12 will get a bonus on top of their “show” and “win” money. But those who put on a good fight, or as de la Noval puts it, a barnburner on the order of Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar , will also get extra money. “Fighters are not finishing fights,” de la Noval told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “They’re just going in there to get the win bonus. Look what happened to (Lyoto) Machida and Phil Davis this weekend (at UFC 163). Neither one went in to prove a point.” CFA 12 takes place Oct. 12 at BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla
