At UFC 327, held at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Josh Hokit earned a total of $200,000 in bonuses, which included a $100,000 Performance of the Night award for his fight against Curtis Blaydes. This decision has drawn criticism, particularly as it overshadowed Cub Swanson's emotional retirement fight, where he achieved a first-round knockout of Nate Landwehr but only received a $25,000 finish bonus. The UFC also awarded $100,000 to Carlos Ulberg for his impressive victory over Jiri Prochazka. Critics argue that the UFC is increasingly rewarding fighters who generate buzz rather than those who perform exceptionally in the octagon. Other fighters, including Paulo Costa, Mateusz Gamrot, Tatiana Suarez, and Vicente Luque, each received $25,000 for their finishes, but none matched the financial recognition given to Hokit. This trend raises questions about the UFC's priorities in the competitive landscape of mixed martial arts.
