Dana White may have snubbed the UFC Apex, but the fighters gave their ultimate best to provide the audience with a thrilling fight, and they deserve every penny of the bonus they received.
Bonuses after a successful UFC Vegas 85
UFC Vegas 85 has been concluded and we have a set of winners, along with them we have a set of fighters who will walk away with a set of bonuses for their tremendous performances. Molly McCann and Randy Brown will walk away from the Apex with a well-deserved $50000 bonus for their exceptional performance.

Is Conor McGregor going to be in the UFC 300?
UFC 300 is yet to have a main event and every fighter seems to be wanting to be a part of it. Dana White has yet to make any announcements regarding the main event and the patience of the MMA fans seems to be wearing now. Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler are ready to lock horns at the UFC 300 but Whote seems to have other plans for them.

However, former UFC’s flyweight champion, Demetrious Johnson believes that White is playing around at the very end of the UFC CEO gonna announcement the McGregor vs. Chandler bout. “I think they’re going to have him [Conor McGregor] fight at UFC 300 because they’re going to try to help promote that movie [Roadhouse].”
He further added ” It’s right about the same time frame, and they just did The Ultimate Fighter. We haven’t got to see the conclusion of it yet. If you go back in the past and we watch The Ultimate Fighter, after The Ultimate Fighter, the coaches would fight. These two coaches haven’t fought each other yet. What better opportunity to do it at UFC 300?” \
