Rafael Fiziev tops the list of UFC fighters from CIS countries with eight post-fight performance bonuses to his name. Khamzat Chimaev, Ilia Topuria, and Dennis Siver each have seven bonuses, while Islam Makhachev, Arman Tsarukyan, and Aleksei Oleinik each have six.
Rafael Fiziev has established himself as the bonus king among UFC fighters from CIS nations, having collected eight post-fight performance bonuses across his Octagon career — more than any other competitor from the region.
Chasing Fiziev with seven bonuses apiece are Khamzat Chimaev and Ilia Topuria. Topuria, who carries a 17-1 record and currently ranks second in the lightweight division, is also the number-one pound-for-pound fighter on the roster. The 29-year-old Georgian-born Spaniard is one of the more explosive performers in the sport, averaging 4.81 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy. Veteran Dennis Siver also sits on seven bonuses. The 47-year-old German-based fighter compiled a 23-11 record over his long UFC run, averaging 3.87 significant strikes landed per minute during his career.
Three fighters share the six-bonus mark: welterweight champion Islam Makhachev, lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan, and heavyweight veteran Aleksei Oleinik. Makhachev, now competing at welterweight, holds a 28-1 record and carries the championship. The 34-year-old Russian southpaw from Eagles MMA blends elite grappling with a 58 percent striking accuracy, adding 3.2 takedowns per 15 minutes to his arsenal.
