UFC Vegas 118 bonuses: Four earn additional $100K

Four fighters earned $100,000 bonuses at UFC Vegas 118, a card defined by impressive finishes and compelling action. Edgar Chairez was the lone preliminary card fighter to secure a Performance of the Night bonus, earning $100k for his first-round submission of Bruno Silva. The Mexican flyweight dropped Silva with an uppercut before quickly securing a rear-naked choke for the tap, extending his winning streak to three fights.

In the middleweight co-main event, both Brendan Allen and Edmen Shahbazyan earned Fight of the Night honors worth $100k each. Despite his reputation as a wrestler, Allen chose to keep the action on the feet, resulting in a fan-friendly striking battle. Allen landed the cleaner, more damaging shots en route to a unanimous decision victory.

Additional $25,000 bonuses went to five other finishers: Iwo Baraniewski, Bryce Mitchell, Alessandro Costa, Chelsea Chandler, Joanderson Brito, and Ketlen Souza. The card lived up to its reputation for decisive finishes, rewarding both highlight-reel knockouts and grinding submission victories.
