MMA fighters put in tons of effort for each fight. Hence, it is always great to see them celebrate a win and get compensated fairly for their efforts. ONE Championship has taken the initiative to recognize the hard work its fighters put in and awards $50,000 performance bonuses at every event. This is something Roman Kryklia thinks will motivate fighters.
Kryklia’s fight with Murat Aygun has been rescheduled several times. It was originally supposed to take place much earlier. Now the bout will happen at ONE: FULL CIRCLE on February 25.

In an exclusive interview with ONE Championship, Kryklia spoke about the $50,000 performance bonuses that fighters get. He had a unique point of view on the same.
He said, “I’m very happy about this new thing. This bonus will be very motivating for many athletes. But I don’t think as a fighter you should concentrate on getting a bonus no matter what it takes. I always approach my fights with a clear plan and a cool head. If everything goes according to my plan, then I can claim the bonus, too.”
From what Kryklia said, it looks like the bonus is definitely a great add-on that fighters look forward to.

Back in January, SCMP had reported that ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong would award bonuses to fighters depending on their performance. Fighters can get the bonus regardless of winning or losing. Saygid Arslanalie and Timofey Nastyukhin were the first to receive such a bonus.
Roman Kryklia and his upcoming bout against Murat Aygun
In the same exclusive interview with ONE Championship, Kryklia said that he has not fought for a year and a half. He was frustrated when the fight previously got canceled and hence, hopes that everything runs smoothly this time.
The kickboxer does not intend to win the fight in a particular way. However, he said that a “knockout with a straight right hand” could be possible.
