Pereira guaranteed $10M for Gane fight; Hockridge signs 8-fight UFC deal

Alex Pereira is set to earn a guaranteed $10 million for his bout against Ciryl Gane, making it the largest guaranteed purse in UFC history. Veteran organizations and Vietnam veterans' groups failed in a legal bid to block the UFC from holding the event on the White House lawn, with a court ruling in favor of the promotion. Pereira had suggested publicly that Jamahal Hill might be leaving the UFC, but those rumors proved unfounded as Hill subsequently signed an eight-fight contract with the organization.
