One fighter will have a chance to earn an extra $50,000 when the
Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Los Angeles on Sept.
19 for UFC

UFC CEO Dana
White recently announced that a special “proper chaos bonus”
will be awarded to a fighter at Crypto.com Arena. The additional
prize is being introduced in conjunction with the Paramount+ series
“MobLand.”

Dana White will personally decide who earns the UFC 331 ‘proper
chaos’ bonus
White announced the bonus in partnership with Paramount+’s
“MobLand” on Instagram. The bonus will be separate from the
promotion’s standard $25,000 finishing bonus and $100,000 awards: a
Fight of the Night bonus and a few Performance of the Night
bonuses.
White hasn’t established specific criteria for the new award,
saying the decision will ultimately be his.
“Long before I did a deal with Paramount, I’ve been telling you
guys I’m a huge fan of ‘MobLand.’ It is one of the best shows on
television,” White said in an Instagram video. “So, for one night
only, we’re bringing a little proper chaos into the Octagon. At UFC
331, we are unlocking the proper chaos bonus. $50,000 awarded to
the fighter who I think deserves it most.”
UFC 331 will be headlined by a flyweight championship rematch
between Joshua Van
and former champion Alexandre
Pantoja. A five-round lightweight bout with title implications
co-headlines the card, pitting Arman
Tsarukyan against Mauricio
Ruffy.
