UFC CEO Dana White is adding another bonus to the mix at UFC 331 this weekend.
UFC 331 goes down on Saturday, September 19th from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, featuring a flyweight title fight between Joshua Van and former champion Alexandre Pantoja. Also on the card: a lightweight candidate game Arman Tsarukyan and Mauricio Ruffy.
There are plenty of other names to be excited about on the undercard, with Patricio Pitbull, Gable Steveson, Marlon Vera, Robelis Despaigne and Edmen Shahbazyan competing. They all have a chance win $100,000 Fight of the Night or Performance of the Night bonuses. They can win a $25,000 termination bonus. And now one lucky fighter can earn a $50,000 “Proper Chaos” bonus thanks to the TV show MobLand.
“Long before I signed with Paramount, I’ve told you that I’m a huge fan of MobLand,” White explained in an Instagram video. “This is one of the best shows on TV. Here we go: The second season premieres this Friday on Paramount+, the night before UFC 331 in LA, so for one night only, we’re bringing a little chaos to the Octagon.”
“At UFC 331, we’re opening a ‘Righteous Chaos’ bonus: $50,000 will be awarded to the fighter I think deserves it the most.”
There’s no explanation for what constitutes a “proper mayhem” show other than what the name implies: it goes to anyone who goes out and puts on a show that ignores safety and the common sense of chaos and destruction. White has regularly said that his work is provide “Holy S—-t” moments to people and now he has another bonus in his pocket that can be pulled out to someone who delivers.
