UFC 328 distributed $100,000 performance bonuses with Yaroslav Amosov and Jim Miller each receiving Performance of the Night honors. Joshua Van versus Tatsuro Taira was awarded Fight of the Night. Additionally, all fighters who won by finish and did not receive a main bonus, and who also made weight successfully, will receive $25,000. This bonus structure rewards both exceptional individual performances and exciting contests. The announcement follows the standard UFC bonus distribution pattern for major events.
UFC 328 handed out its post-event bonus checks on May 10, with Yaroslav Amosov and veteran lightweight Jim Miller claiming Performance of the Night honors and the flyweight clash between Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira earning Fight of the Night recognition. Each bonus carried a $100,000 payout, and fighters who secured finishes without receiving a main bonus — provided they made weight — collected an additional $25,000.
Jim Miller, the 42-year-old southpaw from New Jersey who competes under the Sussex County MMA banner, added yet another accolade to a storied career that now stands at 39 wins and 19 losses. Standing five-foot-eight with a 71-inch reach, Miller has long been one of lightweight's most durable performers, averaging 1.7 submission attempts per 15 minutes throughout his career.
The Fight of the Night pairing featured flyweight champion Joshua Van against Tatsuro Taira in a matchup that clearly delivered for the crowd. Van, just 24 years old and representing Myanmar, carries a 17-2 record and brings a relentless offensive output of 8.84 significant strikes landed per minute with a 56 percent accuracy rate. His opponent, Japanese contender Tatsuro Taira, ranked fifth in the flyweight division at 26, owns an 18-2 record and presents a sharply contrasting style — a disciplined grappler landing 3.12 takedowns per 15 minutes and averaging 1.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes, with a 60 percent striking accuracy when he does commit to the stand-up.
Why it matters
- Van and Taira's stylistic contrast — elite volume striking against elite grappling — produced the night's most compelling contest
- Miller's bonus underscores his continued relevance in the lightweight division at age 42
- The $25,000 finish bonus pool further rewards fighters outside the top billing who delivered stoppages while making weight
