UFC awarded $100,000 Performance of the Night bonuses to Paddy Pimblett and King Green at UFC 329, while Brandon Royval and Lone'er Kavanagh shared the $100,000 Fight of the Night bonus. An additional $25,000 finish bonus was distributed to Luke Riley, Damian Pinas, Ryan Gandra, Alessandro Costa, Adrian Yanez, Gable Steveson, Robert Whittaker, and Max Holloway.
Four fighters earned Performance of the Night honors and two shared the Fight of the Night award when the UFC handed out its post-event bonuses following UFC 329 on July 11, 2026.
Paddy Pimblett and King Green each pocketed $100,000 Performance of the Night bonuses for standout individual efforts on the card. Brandon Royval and Lone'er Kavanagh split the $100,000 Fight of the Night award for delivering the evening's most entertaining contest. A separate wave of $25,000 finish bonuses went to Luke Riley, Damian Pinas, Ryan Gandra, Alessandro Costa, Adrian Yanez, Gable Steveson, Robert Whittaker, and Max Holloway.
Royval, nicknamed Raw Dawg, holds a record of 18-9 and sits third in the flyweight divisional rankings at 33 years old. The Factory X product fights out of a southpaw stance and brings consistent pressure, averaging 5.60 significant strikes per minute and generating 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes — a combination that makes him a perpetual threat to land on highlight reels.
Holloway, ranked fourth at lightweight and ninth pound-for-pound at age 34, added yet another bonus to what has become a lengthy collection throughout his career. The Hawaiian carries a 28-9 record and operates as one of the sport's most relentless volume strikers, landing 6.92 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy.
Yanez, a 32-year-old Orthodox striker from the United States fighting out of Metro Fight Club, also earned a finish bonus. He carries an 18-6-1 record and is known for his offensive output, averaging 5.95 significant strikes per minute.
Why it matters
- Royval's Fight of the Night recognition keeps his name in the flyweight title conversation as the division's third-ranked contender.
- Holloway's continued bonus earnings at lightweight reinforce his relevance in a new division following his long run at featherweight.
- The wide distribution of $25,000 finish bonuses across eight fighters signals a card that produced consistent action throughout its duration.
