Alex Pereira: Expected to be the highest-paid fighter on the entire card, commanding a massive $10 million guaranteed purse.

Because every single fight ended in a stoppage, Dana White and event sponsors handed out the largest total bonus pool in mixed martial arts history, totaling over $1.65 million distributed to the roster.

Justin Gaethje ($825,000 in Total Bonuses): Gaethje “double-dipped” by claiming both Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night awards.

Ilia Topuria ($400,000): Despite losing his title, Topuria secured a massive payout as the other half of the Fight of the Night.

Ciryl Gane ($425,000): Gane claimed the second Performance of the Night bonus for his second-round stoppage of Alex Pereira.

Standard Finish Bonuses ($25,000 each): Sean O’Malley, Josh Hokit, Mauricio Ruffy, Bo Nickal, and Diego Lopes all secured an extra $25,000 flat payout under the promotion’s standard stoppage incentive policy.

Happy to see delivering several illegal strikes to your opponent still pays well.
