It was the same four bonus at UFC Vegas 58,, but four additional $50,000 were awarded to four of the fighters.
Michael Johnson might have been dismayed by a split decision loss to Jamie Mullarkey in the Saturday night main-card opener, but he and his opponent each took home extra checks for their gutsy, back-and-forth slugfest.
UFC Vegas 58 was held at UFC APEX Las Vegas. It aired on ESPN+.
The other bonus winners of “Performance of the Night”, who delivered outstanding performances on the main deck, were not eligible for the prize. Rafael Fiziev, the headliner of the event, not only won the title “Best Rafael” within the Octagon but also took home $50,000 after his fifth round knockout of Rafael dos Anjos.
And heavyweight Chase Sherman won a $50,000 bonus in his fight with Jared Vanderaa. This result may have saved Chase Sherman’s UFC career, which was marred by a 4-fight skid.
