Several past and present UFC fighters made quite a stir recently when they started raising some gripes about how much money they make to fight. And then UFC President Dana White made a bigger stir when he said, in essence, that if fighters don’t like how much money they’re making, the UFC could raise the fight purses for the guys on the lower end of the pay scale – and eliminate the fight-night bonuses and discretionary “locker room” bonuses that are handed out. Problem solved, White said he and the UFC brass had theorized. Nothing was made official, however – it was merely an idea that White floated to the media . And the fighters responded, apparently. White on Tuesday, as part of a media conference call in support of this month’s UFC on FOX 8 event, said the fight-night bonuses and discretionary bonuses won’t be going away – so fighters can rest easy. “At the last press conference (at UFC 162), I told the press we’re not doing away with the fight-night bonuses,” White said on Tuesday’s call.
