UFC White House adds historic $1 million fighter bonus

If the stakes at the UFC White House weren't already high enough, fighters will now get the chance to collect a $1 million bonus when the event rolls around on June 14.

Upon the announcement of the event, there was excitement in the air with many predicting who they believed would feature on the card, but the official reveal left much to be desired. Despite being one of the better seven-fight lineups in UFC history, supporters were left disappointed, as the confirmed bouts didn't match the fantasy fights they'd been building in their heads in the months prior.

After initial interest from fighters, they, too, were unbothered about being granted a spot to perform in front of the country's most powerful men and women. That reaction may now change after the UFC White House's latest addition.

Announced during the UFC 327 broadcast, the showcase in two months will be accompanied by a bonus like no other. Fighters on the card will all be eligible to win their share of the eye-watering $1 million bonus, courtesy of Crypto.com.

The White House card is a celebration for both the United States of America and Donald Trump, with the show set to unfold on his 80th birthday. Alongside those celebrating will be Crypto.com, marking its own 10th anniversary. To honor the occasion, a $1 million pool of Crypto will be up for grabs for those competing, which roughly translates into 14.4 million of the company's currency.

Dana White spoke on the collaboration and the history that will be made. Here's what he had to say:

"This is the most historic sporting event in history, and it's a night where every single fight has the potential to be Fight of the Night," White said. "Crypto.com is giving fighters the biggest bonus in UFC history, with $1 million on the line. The world will be watching on June 14." [h /t UFC.com]
