BKFC 56’s main event saw two former UFC stars battle each other in the promotion’s squared circle. It was a great fight for the fans to witness with Mike Perry making a tremendous comeback after Eddie Alvarez dominated him in the first round. Interestingly, ‘Platinum’s payout details have been released, and he reportedly earned a sum of $1 million or more.

Perry’s BKFC payout for a single fight was almost equivalent to fifteen fights in the UFC, for which he was paid $1.3 in total. His four fights in the bare-knuckle promotion have helped him surpass his earnings from when he was a part of Dana White’s promotion. This revelation highlights how the UFC treats the fighters who are on the lower echelon.

‘Rampage’ Jackson reveals how the decisions Dana White made affected him negatively

Quinton Jackson was one of the biggest MMA stars during the late 2000s and the early 2010s. He fought in multiple promotions and is notably known for his fights in the UFC. During a recent episode of his ‘JAXXON Podcast’, ‘Rampage’ revealed that Dana White took a lot of money from him.

“Dana fumbled the bag big time,” said ‘Rampage’ Jackson. He further stated, “I got nothing against Dana. At the end of the day, I gotta respect Dana for being the businessman, but Dana took a lot of food out of my mouth with a couple of things.”

Jackson further revealed that Dana White kept him away from signing a deal with renowned sports brand, Reebok. Moreover, he also did not get paid as much as he claimed he should have when he fought UFC Legend Chuck Liddell. “The Reebok deal, with my pay-per-view deal, after I fought Chuck. I’m keeping it 100, he took a lot of money out of my mouth.” It remains to be seen how the UFC CEO responds to these comments.
