UFC 328 distributed performance bonuses totaling $100,000 to standout fighters from the event. Yaroslav Amosov and Jim Miller each received Performance of the Night bonuses. Joshua Van versus Tatsuro Taira was awarded Fight of the Night. Additionally, all fighters who won by finish and didn't receive a main bonus, while also making weight, received $25,000 each. The bonus structure rewards both exciting finishes and competitive fights that deliver for fans.
Four fighters walked away from UFC 328 with extra money in their pockets after the promotion handed out $100,000 in performance bonuses following the event, which took place on May 9, 2026.
Yaroslav Amosov and veteran Jim Miller each earned Performance of the Night honors, while the flyweight clash between Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira took home Fight of the Night. Fighters who secured finishes, made weight, and did not receive one of the headline bonuses collected an additional $25,000 apiece.
Miller, nicknamed "A-10," continues to defy the odds at 42 years old. The southpaw from New Jersey owns a remarkable 39-19 record accumulated over a long lightweight career with Sussex County MMA. He averages 1.7 submission attempts per 15 minutes, a reminder of the grappling threat he remains at any age.
Van, the reigning flyweight champion nicknamed "The Fearless," delivered another eye-catching performance for the 24-year-old from Myanmar. Fighting out of the orthodox stance, he generates an extraordinary 8.84 significant strikes per minute and connects at a 56 percent accuracy rate, numbers that make him one of the most prolific offensive forces in the division. His reach measures 65 inches.
Taira, ranked fifth in the flyweight division, pushed the champion to the limit. The 26-year-old Japanese fighter is a well-rounded threat, averaging 3.12 takedowns per 15 minutes and 1.6 submission attempts over the same span, with a 60 percent striking accuracy mark that ranks among the best in the weight class. His 70-inch reach gave him a five-inch advantage over Van.
Why it matters
- Van retaining bonus recognition underlines his status as the division's most exciting champion
- Taira's Fight of the Night performance keeps him firmly in the flyweight title picture at rank five
- Miller earning a performance bonus at 42 with a 39-win record adds another chapter to one of MMA's longest careers
