A ploy to get fighters to be more aggressive?

They've been giving those bonuses for some time now. It's just more evidence that the numbers submitted to the athletic commission are in no way an accurate indication of what the fighters are making.

Yeah they always give a $20,000 bonus for fight of the night, KO of the night and submission of the night to both fighters. Fighters can win fight of the night and get the sub or KO of the night.

Yeah they have always pay the fighters more than they release to the NSAC. Babalu got a huge check after the Chuck fight that was nothing to do with his base pay.
