UFC Winnipeg awarded $100,000 bonuses to multiple fighters. Mike Malott and Marcio Barbosa received Performance of the Night bonuses. Kyler Phillips versus Charles Jourdain was named Fight of the Night. All fighters who won by finish and did not receive a main bonus, and who also made weight, received $25,000. The bonus structure rewarded decisive performances throughout the card.
UFC Winnipeg handed out its post-fight bonus money on April 19, 2026, with Mike Malott and Marcio Barbosa each banking $100,000 Performance of the Night awards for their decisive showings on the card.
Malott, a 34-year-old Canadian competing out of Team Alpha Male, improved to 14-2-1 with his finish. The six-foot-one welterweight carries a 48-percent striking accuracy mark and blends his standup with a takedown threat of nearly two per 15 minutes, making him one of the more complete fighters on the Canadian regional scene to have broken through at UFC level.
Barbosa, nicknamed Ticoto, turned in the kind of performance his numbers suggest is well within his range. The 28-year-old Brazilian holds an 18-2-0 record and lands an eye-catching 8.27 significant strikes per minute at 47-percent accuracy — output that puts him among the busier strikers on the roster. The five-foot-six orthodox fighter trains out of Equipe RD Champions.
The Fight of the Night award went to Kyler Phillips and Charles Jourdain for what the promotion deemed the evening's most entertaining contest. Phillips, a 31-year-old American from MMA Lab, carries a 12-5-0 record and averages 5.04 significant strikes per minute alongside 2.31 takedowns per 15 minutes — a style that blends volume striking with a persistent wrestling threat off a 72-inch reach.
Why it matters
- Malott's finish bonus reinforces his standing as one of Canada's most prominent UFC welterweights ahead of a potential ranking push.
- Barbosa's Performance award highlights a striker whose output per minute ranks among the division's highest, raising his profile considerably.
- The Phillips-Jourdain Fight of the Night nod signals both men remain compelling contenders for future main-card placement despite the result.
- The additional $25,000 finish bonuses distributed across the card reflect a full evening of decisive action in Winnipeg.
