White did not specify how much the new bonuses will be. The Paramount deal goes in effect starting with the first event in January 2026. Since 2013, the four performance bonuses handed out after each UFC event have steadily been $50,000 apiece with very few exceptions.

Hours after Paramount and UFC announced a billion-dollar rights deal, Dana White said he had yet to hear from his friend, President Donald Trump, on his thoughts about the fight company’s new streaming home.

The UFC recently signed a deal with CBS/Paramount+ to broadcast events on both networks. The deal will go into effect next year.

Georges St-Pierre and Jake Paul are questioning how the UFC's new massive broadcast deal will affect fight purses.

That means fans who are used to occasionally forking out for a pay-per-view UFC fight will have to consider a Paramount Plus subscription instead. All UFC events will be included in Paramount Plus subscriptions.
