No bonuses for Gutierrez, Hooker, Moicano, Blanchfield, Frevola, and Ulberg. These fighters deserved it. UFC made over $11 million at the gate plus all the PPV money. 300k extra is nothing. So disappointing. Media talking to Dana tonight won't say anything about it I bet.

Conor’s only win at lightweight was against Eddie Alvarez in 2016. It’s insane he was still in the rankings six years later.
Conor McGregor is no longer featured in the UFC's official lightweight rankings.
In latest update, McGregor has dropped out of the top 15, though he is in pool of athletes eligible to be ranked by the panel.
With McGregor out, Grant Dawson (

The latest UFC pound-for-pound rankings are incredibly disrespectful to Jan Blachowicz. Not only did he slip a spot down to No. 8, but Israel Adesanya actually moved up a spot to No. 4. Unreal. It makes no sense.

Mike Malott is one of the lowest-paid fighters on the UFC roster, makes the bare minimum of 10k to show and 10k to win, and he's donating his show $ to Joey Rodriguez's family. What a guy. Pretty sure he just won over every MMA fan tonight. Dana, give this man a 50k bonus

So Adesanya and Usman both had 5 consecutive title defenses before losing their belts. Tito, Hughes, Nunes and Jedrzejczyk also had five. Rousey had 6, Aldo had 7, Shevchenko currently has 7, Jones had 8, GSP had 9, Silva had 10, and DJ had 11. Just to put things in perspective.
