"Well deserved" - Fans react as Dana White adds a third POTN bonus after watching UFC Vegas 96 on TV

An impressive showing by a UFC debutant has prompted Dana White to add an extra Performance of the Night bonus for UFC Vegas 96, and it looks like the decision has been a hit with fight fans.

Many records were made and a few long-standing ones were broken this past weekend at the UFC Apex. One among those was the record for the fastest women's flyweight debut knockout set by Wang Cong.

'The Joker,' who faced Victoria Leonardo on the preliminary card, took just 62 seconds to clinch a KO win over her opponent.

The UFC CEO was out of town during the event. However, once he caught the fights on TV, White decided to reward Cong for her impressive win. In a post on X, he wrote:

"You looked AMAZING. I'm adding another PON bonus for [yo]u. Congrats [yo]u get 50K."

Fight fans were delighted with the UFC CEO's grand gesture and took to social media to note their opinions.

Apart from Cong, Gerald Meerschaert and Michael Morales also bagged the POTN bonuses. The Fight of the Night went for the middleweight main event between Jared Cannonier and Caio Borralho.

Caio Borralho wants a meeting with Dana White following his win at UFC Vegas 96

Caio Borralho clinched a unanimous decision win against former middleweight title challenger Jared Cannonier this past weekend. The Brazilian is now eyeing a title shot, but if that's not in his immediate future, he would at least like to have a meeting with Dana White and other UFC brass.

During the post-fight press conference at UFC Vegas 96, 'The Natural' stated that he wants to be one of those people who gets the opportunity to sit down and talk business with the boss:

"I think I deserve a meeting with Dana you know. I always see all those guys go inside his room, having meetings with him and Hunter [Campbell] and all those guys you know. I want to be one of those guys. Just go there, have some talk, talk about business. I can be a big superstar in this sport, I know that... So, Dana, I'm waiting for your call... We'll have some meetings, we'll have some sushi, we'll have some Code Blanc."
