“Man Got a Bonus Instead of a Paycut” – Israel Adesanya Beating Alexander Volkanovski and Alex Pereira to Receive the Biggest UFC Bonus Left Fans Bewildered

UFC Fan Bonus of the Night shocked the fight fans as Israel Adesanya bagged the biggest reward, while Alexander Volkanovski and Alex Pereira were other winners of the extra crypto-based income from the UFC 276 event.

The International Fight Week card was a phenomenal event with a title double header and a few pivotal matchups. However, only three were going to win the fan choice-based award, a new segment the UFC has added because of their partnership with crypto.com.

Adesanya ($30,000 BTC), Volkanovski ($20,000 BTC), and Pereira ($10,000 BTC) were the three winners.

Even though the winners are voted by fans, and they choose Israel Adesanya as #1, fight fans were baffled to not see Alexander Volkanovski or Alex Pereira who had more convincing wins than ‘The Last Stylebender‘, win the award.
