Nina Milosevic, Navajo Stirling, Gilbert Urbina, and Urosh Medic each received a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus following UFC Belgrade. All other fighters who earned early finishes and did not miss weight will receive $25,000 bonuses.
Four fighters walked away from UFC Belgrade with an extra $100,000 in their pockets after the promotion handed out its Performance of the Night bonuses. Nina Milosevic, Navajo Stirling, Gilbert Urbina, and Urosh Medic were each awarded the $100,000 prize for standout efforts on the card. All other fighters who secured early finishes and made weight received a $25,000 bonus.
Milosevic, the 29-year-old Serbian fighter competing under the banner of MMA Family Fight Team, had every reason to celebrate on home soil. Fighting in front of a passionate Belgrade crowd, the woman known as "Queen Beast" carries a 9-1-0 professional record and represents one of the most compelling local stories the UFC has had to sell in the Serbian capital.
Stirling, the unbeaten New Zealander out of City Kickboxing, continued to build what is becoming one of the most eye-catching records in the light heavyweight division. The 28-year-old stands at 11-0-0 and is ranked fifteenth in the division. At six-foot-four with a 79-inch reach, he is a physically imposing presence, and his output of 6.24 significant strikes landed per minute underlines the relentless pressure he brings to the cage.
Urbina, the 30-year-old American from BMF Ranch known as "The RGV Bad Boy," holds an 8-5-0 record and brings a well-rounded skill set. Standing six-foot-three with a 75-inch reach, he lands 5.57 significant strikes per minute at a 56 percent accuracy rate and adds nearly three takedowns per 15 minutes to his game.
Medic, the fourth bonus recipient, does not appear in the verified fighter database, but his Performance of the Night award signals he delivered one of the evening's most memorable moments.
Why it matters
- Stirling's bonus adds momentum to an undefeated light heavyweight campaign that is beginning to attract serious divisional attention
- Milosevic earning the award on Serbian soil gives the UFC a marketable local star heading into future European events
- The $25,000 secondary bonuses reward a broader group of finishers, reflecting an active and entertaining card overall
