971 FC has set itself apart by awarding generous fight bonuses of $5,000 to John Mitchell and Mohammed Fakhreddine. A practice not seen in most fighting promotions. This incentive is likely to attract an experienced calibre of fighters to the event. Such initiatives will continue to position the Middle East as a burgeoning hub in the world of mixed martial arts.
This is merely the inaugural event for 971 FC and already Mounir Lazziz and the promoters had their chequebook at the ready to reward former PFL Finalist John Mitchell and Lebanese legend Mohammed Fakhreddine for their fantastic performances in the Co-main and Main events respectively.
$5,000 Bonuses:
John Mitchell for his Round 1 Submission win.
Mohamed Fakhreddine for his Round 2 KO win.
The UFC began this convention in the mid-2000s but unfortunately, most MMA promotions still do not offer bonuses based on fight performance. 971 FC, from the United Arab Emirates just this past weekend, is changing the fight game and elevating the region.
