Post-fight bonus king, Justin Gaethje has made his feelings clear on the usual $50,000 pay for fighters who are judged to have turned in both Fight of the Night or Performance of the Night bonuses following their clashes – and hopes next weekend’s UFC 300 card brings a huge increase of $250,000 to fighters who land post-fight bonuses.
Gaethje, a former interim lightweight champion, returns to the Octagon in search of his first defense of the symbolic BMF title, as he takes on former featherweight titleholder, Max Holloway in the Hawiian’s sophomore outing at 155lbs.
Sidelined since July of last year, Arizona striker, Gaethje won the symbolic crown with a hellacious second round win over fellow former interim champion, Dustin Poirier, finishing the Lafayette native in the pair’s long-anticipated rematch.
And hoping to land a championship fight in November against either trio of Islam Makhachev, Charles Oliveira, or Arman Tsarukyan should he beat the aforementioned, Holloway in their main card fight, Gaethje called for a huge increase to post-fight bonus pay at UFC 300 – in the form of $300,000 checks from the organization.
