White House bonuses tripled as UFC adds $250,000 from new sponsor World Liberty Financial

UFC CEO Dana White revealed a dramatic increase in post-fight bonuses for the UFC White House card on Sunday, with a new sponsorship deal pushing payouts to more than triple the standard amounts.

White made the announcement at the UFC White House press conference, confirming that World Liberty Financial had joined as a presenting partner and contributed an additional $250,000 to the bonus pool. As a result, each Fight of the Night winner will take home $400,000, while the two Performance of the Night recipients will each earn $425,000.

“World Liberty Financial will serve as a presenting partner and are adding another $250,000 to bonuses for the fighters that night,” White said. “Two fighters who earn Fight of the Night are going to earn $400,000 each. Then the two Performance [of the Night] bonuses will get $425,000 each. Congratulations everybody, good luck.”

The announcement represents a significant escalation from the UFC’s already-upgraded bonus structure.

In total, $1.65 million in bonuses is on the table across Sunday night’s seven-bout card, giving all 14 competing fighters a substantial financial incentive beyond their contracted purses. The UFC retains discretion over who receives the awards, as is standard practice for the promotion’s post-fight bonus system.
