UFC 113-Machida-Shogun 2, May 8th in Montreal.

[VanCitySportsGuy]

The new Esquire mag has a feature on Dana White and had some behind the scenes info on the first Machida/Shogun fight. White gave an extra $100,000 to Shogun in the dressing room. He also asked him right away if he wanted a rematch. I know a lot of people slam the UFC for some of the low payouts but I thought it was really nice of White to give him an extra $100,000 after he got screwed by the judges.

White also writes out the bonus cheques and hands them out backstage.

Dana is a genuine good guy. He may rub people the wrong way but he is a great businessmen who cares about his business and his employees.

No problem. You can pretty much guarantee that we will have a thread for every event the minute a main event is announced.

Going to this! Very pumped, as it's my first UFC event. Hoping the rematch lives up to the hype.
