Following Saturday’s UFC Seattle event at Climate Pledge Arena, the fight promotion announced the recipients of the performance-based bonuses.
The 13-bout fight card featured 9 finishes, including finishes in every main card match. Two “Performance of the Night” bonuses were awarded and “Fight of the Night” honors bestowed.
Main event fighter Joe Pyfer earned a bonus for his second-round stoppage of former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. After several spirited exchanges, Pyfer secured a takedown and mounted “‘The Last Stylebender.” He then flatted out Adesanya after Adesanya rolled. From there, Pyfer hammered away with punches until the referee was forced to stop the action.
Former women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso banked a bonus for first round knockout of Maycee Barber in the fight card’s co-main event. A straight left hand put Barber down midway through the opening frame. Grasso snapped Barber’s seven-fight winning streak and took home and extra $100,000.
Fight of the Night honors went to lightweight match between Tofiq Musayev and Ignacio Bahamondes. The two fought in the featured preliminary card bout. Musayev won via unanimous decision.
Each of the previously mentioned fighters took home an extra $100,000 in bonus money. Every other fighter that won their fights via stoppage banked $25,000.
