Five Fighters Score $50K Bonuses in Action-Packed New Orleans Card
UFC 318 delivered the fireworks Saturday night in New Orleans, prompting the promotion to hand out five post-fight bonuses instead of the standard four. The Smoothie King Center played host to a card filled with explosive moments — and these standout fighters walked away with an extra $50,000 for their efforts.
Performance of the Night: Carli Judice
Louisiana’s own Carli Judice (5-2, 2-1 UFC) brought the hometown crowd to its feet with a brutal finish to open the night. In Round 3 of her bout with Nicolle Caliari (8-4, 0-2 UFC), Judice landed a devastating knee down the middle that dropped her opponent, followed by a flurry of strikes that sealed the TKO win and earned her a well-deserved performance bonus.
Performance of the Night: Islam Dulatov
Making a perfect first impression, Islam Dulatov (12-1, 1-0 UFC) didn’t waste any time in his Octagon debut. He made quick work of Adam Fugitt (10-5, 2-3 UFC), securing a clean knockout in the opening round. The dominant showing — and the fact he emerged completely unscathed — came just in time, as Dulatov heads into a modeling gig early next week.
Performance of the Night: Ateba Gautier
Ateba Gautier (8-1, 2-0 UFC) continued to build momentum in the welterweight division with a ferocious first-round TKO over Robert Valentin (10-6, 0-3 UFC). The fight lasted just 70 seconds, with Gautier overwhelming his opponent in a violent, one-sided assault that earned him his first UFC bonus.
Fight of the Night: Brendan Allen vs. Marvin Vettori
Middleweight contender Brendan Allen (25-7, 13-4 UFC) earned a signature victory by outclassing former title challenger Marvin Vettori (19-8-1, 9-7-1 UFC) in a high-stakes clash. Allen’s pace, composure, and precision carried him to a unanimous decision win. Both fighters walked away with "Fight of the Night" honors for their competitive and gritty three-round battle.
