The $100,000 performance bonuses from UFC Abu Dhabi have been awarded. Rizvan Kunyev and Tyrell Forthen earned Fight of the Night honors, while Ramazan Temirov and Walter Walker each took a Performance of the Night award. All fighters who earned a finish without receiving a main bonus and who made weight will receive an additional $25,000.
The post-fight bonuses from UFC Abu Dhabi are official, with four fighters walking away with an extra $100,000 each following the event on July 25, 2026.
Rizvan Kunyev and Tyrell Forthen shared the Fight of the Night award for delivering the most entertaining bout on the card. Ramazan Temirov and Walter Walker each claimed a Performance of the Night bonus for their respective finishes. In addition, any fighter who secured a finish, made weight, and did not receive one of the main bonuses will collect a supplemental $25,000 payout.
Temirov, nicknamed "Temurlan," is a 29-year-old flyweight ranked 13th in the division with a professional record of 20 wins and 3 losses. Standing five-foot-four with a 63-inch reach, the orthodox striker averages 4.37 significant strikes per minute and connects at a 40 percent accuracy rate, making him an active and persistent pressure fighter on the feet.
Why it matters
- The Fight of the Night pairing of Kunyev and Forthen signals a potential divisional talking point, as both men raised their profiles with a memorable performance.
- Temirov's bonus at flyweight, where roster depth is always competitive, could influence his positioning as the division continues to take shape.
- The supplemental $25,000 finish bonus broadens the reward pool, ensuring that several fighters deeper on the card also benefit financially from the event.
