Dana White agreed to pay $300,000 bonuses for UFC 300 after fighters and fans came together to campaign for it. It was supposedly a one-off reward dished out for the special occasion, but Tim Means wants the trend to continue.
Means, who is set to fight Uros Medic at UFC Vegas 91, said at the media scrum:
“I hope you all keep the same energy and show up with $300,000 bonuses. Don’t mess around. Let’s talk about it… You can’t go back, you know?”
Alex Pereira rematch bigger than winning the belt for Jamahal Hill
While Jamahal Hill is fighting Khalil Rountree Jr. on the UFC 303 card, his eyes are set on the rematch with Alex Pereira. It is less about reclaiming the gold and more about beating the Brazilian for the former champion at this point.
‘Sweet Dreams’ believes he was doing the right things in the fight before he got caught by Pereira, and he would like to prove that he can finish the job.
Speaking with The Schmo on the latter’s channel, Hill said:
“Honestly for me, now it’s not even about the gold strap, it’s about getting back to that fight. I wanna fight with Alex again, just because of the narrative surrounding it.”
