UFC legend TJ Dillashaw sparked debate by questioning Dana White’s decision not to award Islam Makhachev a performance bonus for his dominant performance at UFC 322. Makhachev’s victory over Jack Della Maddalena was a showcase of his skill, with over 18 minutes of control time and three one-sided 50-45 scorecards in his favor. However, some fans and fellow fighters, like Ilia Topuria, found the win unexciting, labeling it as ‘boring’. Dillashaw, on the other hand, believes Makhachev’s performance deserved recognition, especially considering the event’s high attendance and the new welterweight champion’s impressive display. The controversy lies in the interpretation of ‘performance’ and the criteria for bonus awards, leaving fans to debate whether Makhachev’s dominance was worthy of a bonus. Dana White’s role in the event’s conclusion, where Khabib Nurmagomedov presented the titles to Makhachev, added a layer of intrigue to the discussion.
