HOUSTON – Everything is bigger in Texas, including UFC fight night bonuses.

UFC president Dana White heard Tony Ferguson’s request and has decided to increase the UFC 262 bonuses from the usual $50,000 to $75,000, promotion officials confirmed to MMA Junkie on Friday. Combate was the first to report the change.

“(Last time when I fought in Houston), we were here for the performance-bonus meeting,” Ferguson said to White at Thursday’s pre-fight news conference. “(Travis Browne) said, ‘You know, everything is bigger in Texas, Dana, right?’ Right, you remember that? He said, ‘How about a bigger bonus?’ So, I’m going to ask you, Dana. Since we are here, like last time, can we have a bigger bonus this time?”

That got a rousing reaction from fans in attendance and apparently resonated with the UFC boss.

The 50 percent increase is a one-time deal. After UFC 262, bonuses will return to the normal $50,000 for “Performance of the Night” and “Fight of the Night.”

UFC 262 takes place Saturday at Toyota Center. The main card streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view after prelims on ESPN/ESPN+.
