UFC reveals record-breaking bonus for White House card after surprise fight addition

UFC fighters competing at the upcoming White House event will have the chance to earn a record-breaking bonus, with a £1 million prize pool introduced for the historic show on June 14.

The event will feature a limited eight-fight card, headlined by a lightweight title clash between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje, with all fighters eligible for the new bonus alongside standard performance awards.

The announcement came after a late addition to the lineup, with a heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis and Josh Hokit confirmed.

Dana White revealed the fight came together in unusual fashion after Donald Trump personally questioned why Lewis was not on the card, prompting immediate action to include him.

The event is being billed as one of the most unique in UFC history, with major attention expected worldwide.
