UFC lightweight John Makdessi buys his mom a BMW following his UFC Calgary victory over Ross Pearson.

UFC lightweight John Makdessi walked away from his fight with Ross Pearson with a $50,000 fight of the night bonus and it looks like he’s put that extra cash to good use. Today on Makdessi’s Instagram he posted a series of videos of himself and his brother as they presented their mother with a brand new BMW sports car.

The videos, which were posted to the Instagram story, first show Makdessi pulling up to his mother’s job (a family day care center) with the new ride.

“I’m gonna surprise her, me and my older brother,” Makdessi said. “We got her a new BMW car, we’re gonna surprise her soon.”

The next video shows Makdessi’s mother, Rene, standing shocked on the street while Makdessi’s brother, David, hands her the keys.

“To the most beautiful, strongest women I ever knew,” Makdessi wrote on Facebook. “She’s the reason why I changed my life around. Made me want to give back to her and contribute to the family. She thought me to never give up and family values. I usually never post private things. People know me as a reserved man. But I felt this was important for everyone to know. How much my mother RENE means to me.”

The car is white with red interior and has a black convertible top. One video shows David showing her how to use the on dash features. Makdessi is often citing his family and in particular his mom, for his inspiration to fight.

Makdessi defeated Pearson at UFC Calgary back in July which earned him his first Fight of the Night bonus. He’s been with the organization for nearly eight years debuting at UFC 129 back in 2011. He currently holds a 16-6 professional record and has won three of his last four UFC showings. At press time he was not booked for another fight, though it’s likely the UFC will get him back in action soon.
