The UFC handed out multiple bonuses following its second numbered event of 2026, which took place Saturday night at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
Four fighters each earned the now-standard $100,000 performance bonuses, while five more claimed the newly added $25,000 stoppage bonuses.
Here is the full list of bonus winners from UFC 325:
Fight of the Night: Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes ($100,000 each)
Just as they did when they first met at UFC 314 in April of last year, UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and the division’s No. 2–ranked contender, Diego Lopes, earned Fight of the Night honors for their 25-minute tactical battle in Saturday’s main event.
By completing the first successful title defense of his second reign, Volkanovski earned an additional $100,000, as did Lopes, who picked up the sixth bonus of his nine-fight UFC career and his third in a row.
Performance of the Night: Mauricio Ruffy ($100,000)
After his career appeared to hit a rough patch following a loss to Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC Paris last September, Mauricio Ruffy returned to the win column on Saturday’s main card with the biggest victory of his career to date. The Brazilian’s knockout of Rafael Fiziev not only erased the memory of that defeat to “God of War,” but also earned “One Shot” a $100,000 bonus.
Performance of the Night: Quillan Salkilld ($100,000)
Quillan Salkilld may have thought things could not get much better after his memorable head-kick knockout of Nasrat Haqparast at UFC 321 last October, but Saturday’s first-round submission victory over Jamie Mullarkey on home soil may have topped it. The performance earned the Australian a $100,000 bonus.
Stoppage Bonuses ($25,000 each)
In addition to the four standard $100,000 bonus winners, the UFC awarded $25,000 stoppage bonuses to Benoit Saint-Denis, Billy Elekana, Cameron Rowston, Jonathan Micallef, and Keiichiro Nakamura.
