Dana White's Explosive Statements on UFC 304: Bonuses, Fighters, and Future Matches

Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), held a riveting post-fight press conference following UFC 304. The event, which was the highest attended UFC event in UK history with a sold-out attendance of 17,999, generated a record-breaking gate of 6.72 million. White addressed several key topics, including fighter performances, future matchups, and a firm stance on bonuses.

White began by announcing the bonuses for the night, confirming that Parkin and Aspinall each received $100,000, while Patty secured a whopping $200,000. Despite these significant payouts, White was adamant about not increasing the bonuses in the future, stating, "I’m never upping the bonuses again."

The press conference turned its focus to the night's main event, where Blan Muhammad emerged as the new Welterweight Champion. White was asked about Muhammad's performance compared to Leon Edwards, the previous champion. While White acknowledged that the fight was not a "barn burner," he attributed Muhammad's success to his rigorous training with Khabib Nurmagomedov. He remained non-committal on whether Edwards would receive an immediate rematch, suggesting that Edwards should rest for now.

Tom Aspinall's swift victory also garnered attention. White praised Aspinall for his quick win, hinting at a potential blockbuster fight against the winner of the Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic match. When questioned about the possibility of this matchup, White eagerly responded, "There's no doubt about it... that's a fun fight no matter who wins."

The discussion also touched on Jon Jones and the recent changes to the 12-to-6 elbow rule. There is speculation that Jones wants his loss to Matt Hamill overturned following the rule change. However, White remained vague, emphasizing that the outcome of the Jones vs. Miocic fight would determine future decisions.
