The UFC handed out four $100,000 bonuses for finishes at UFC 326 in Las Vegas, but did not award a Fight of the Night bonus, saving the promotion $50,000 in bonus payouts. The fighters who earned Performance of the Night bonuses were Rodolfo Bellato, Alberto Montes, Gregory Rodrigues, and Drew Dober.

Why it matters

UFC bonus payouts are a closely watched part of the promotion's finances, as the company looks to control costs while still rewarding top performances. The decision to forego a Fight of the Night award shows the UFC being strategic about its bonus structure, prioritizing finishes over close, competitive fights.

The details

At UFC 326, four fighters earned $100,000 Performance of the Night bonuses: Rodolfo Bellato for a knockout of Luke Fernandez, Alberto Montes for a submission of Ricky Turcios, Gregory Rodrigues for a knockout of Brunno Ferreira, and Drew Dober for a knockout of Michael Johnson. By not awarding a Fight of the Night bonus, the UFC avoided having to pay an additional $50,000 to the fighters involved in the most competitive fight of the night.
