UFC 300 featured some of the most iconic moments moments in the company’s history. Max Holloway backed up his ‘modern-day gladiator’ talk by outclassing his opponent at the historic PPV. Not only did he deliver a brutal knockout against Justin Gaethje, but he also walked away with a hefty bonus payday.

Dana White recently announced he would up the UFC 300 bonuses from $50,000 to $300,000. This is a 600% increase in bonus pay. Max Holloway‘s performance was so impressive that UFC CEO Dana White decided to give not one but two bonuses to ‘Blessed.’ He pocketed a cool $600,000 for his “Fight of the Night” and “Performance of the Night” bonuses.

Justin Gaethje, the fan-favorite lightweight, walked away with $300,000 for his losing effort. That’s not too shabby considering the ‘Highlight’ did not look at his very best. This fight had many signature moments. It would not surprise anyone if the fight one day made it to the Hall of Fame. This fight inspired the true spirit of what it means to be a “BMF’ champion.

The Hawaiian fighter swarmed Justin Gaethje from the opening bell and Holloway unleashed a devastating combination that sent Gaethje crashing to the canvas in the dying moments of the fight. He deserved all the bonuses in the world for that performance.

The other big winner of the night was former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka, who earned an extra $300,000 for his second-round stoppage of Aleksandar Rakic. Procházka’s performance was equally impressive, as he showcased his incredible striking prowess and finished Rakic via TKO.
