  • The promotion announced four $100,000 bonuses: Paddy Pimblett and King Green earned Performance of the Night checks while Brandon Royval and Lone'er Kavanagh shared Fight of the Night.
  • Eight fighters received $25,000 finish bonuses, including Robert Whittaker, Gable Steveson, Adrian Yanez, Luke Riley, Damian Pinas, Ryan Gandra and Alessandro Costa.
