Dana White to Give 2 Fight of the Night Bonuses at UFC 303: 'F--k It, I'll Do It'

Dana White plans to hand out $100,000 in two Fight of the Night bonuses at Saturday night's UFC 303 in Las Vegas.

"Yeah, f--k it, I'll do it," White told a cheering crowd at Friday's UFC 303 Press Conference.

White previously agreed to raise UFC 300 bonuses from $50,000 to $300,000 after a request from UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje.

In a reference to that decision, UFC featherweight Brian Ortega asked White to make the UFC 303 bonuses worth $303,000.

"Not $303,000, but two bonuses," White said, to boos from the crowd.

The 10 fighters on the main card of UFC 303 have combined for 11 prior Fight of the Night bonuses, per Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com.

It will be stiff competition to earn the extra cash from White at UFC 303.

UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira will look to defend a title bid from Jiri Prochazka, while former featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega will hope to fend off title shot hopeful Diego Lopes, when the event begins Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.
