Alex Pereira set for record $10M guaranteed purse at UFC White House event

Alex Pereira will earn a guaranteed $10 million for his fight against Ciryl Gane at the UFC White House event, making it the largest guaranteed purse in UFC history. Pereira had previously hinted at uncertainty over Jairzinho Rozenstruik's future in the organization, but those rumors proved unfounded as Rozenstruik has since signed an eight-fight contract. U.S. veterans' groups and civic organizations sought a court injunction to block UFC from holding the event on the White House lawn, but the legal challenge failed.
