Dana White’s stance on paying fighters appears to have softened.
Burns lost to a unanimous judge’s decision after three rounds of war with Chimaev. Burns was nevertheless beaten by a unanimous jury decision following three rounds of warfare against Chimaev. No one has anything to be ashamed of, as they have undoubtedly left the entire arena in awe.
That wasn’t a loss for UFC president Dana White, who was so impressed with Durinho’s performance that he decided to properly reward him. Namely, despite the loss, Burns received a cut of the profits for the win.
”I’ll give Burns money for the win, too. The fight was truly amazing. In fact, it was one of the best fights I’ve ever seen. The whole hall was loud and the audience was crazy, and the fight overshadowed both the title and title fight, “said White.
Dana, as expected, praised Chimaev, but hand on heart, he didn’t forget about Burns either: ” Gilbert told me he was ready to die tonight. He received several bombs as well. ”
He has not forgotten his previous performances either: ”Burns has fought four times in two years. Mostly in an empty hall, “he added.
It is unclear whether Dana wants to reduce the stigma of a miser who does not pay fighters or if things are truly improving when it comes to salaries. Regardless, it will be beneficial to the athletes, regardless of why you do something.
