LAS VEGAS – While the UFC on Saturday night awarded $75,000 “Fight
Night” bonuses to six different fighters, UFC president Dana White said
there’s more money on the way.

This could be especially good news for fighters such as welterweight Chris
Lytle, who fell short on the evening’s “Submission of the Night” money
when heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar shocked the world with an
arm-triangle choke victory.

Some MMA fans felt Lesnar’s massive payday was reward enough, but White
believes guaranteed money can’t play a role in who gets the night’s
bonuses.
