Pereira guaranteed $10 million for Gane fight, making it largest UFC purse in history

Alex Pereira will receive a guaranteed $10 million for his light heavyweight title defense against Ciryl Gane at UFC White House, the largest guaranteed purse in UFC history. Pereira had suggested publicly that Jiri Prochazka might be leaving the organization, but those rumors were put to rest when Prochazka signed an eight-fight contract extension. Secretary of State Marco Rubio predicted the event could draw up to one billion viewers, while UFC President Dana White expects viewership comparable to the Super Bowl.
