UFC Bonus Awards represent monetary rewards usually granted to four fighters following each UFC event, as determined by the organization's management. The quantity of bonuses awarded may fluctuate, particularly in events lacking knockouts or submissions.
- Fight of the Night: Presented to both competitors participating in the most outstanding bout.
- Knockout of the Night: Given to the fighter who achieves the most remarkable knockout or technical knockout.
- Submission of the Night: Conferred upon the fighter executing the most notable submission.
- Performance of the Night: Beginning February 11, 2014, the UFC replaced the Knockout and Submission of the Night awards with Performance of the Night honors, which acknowledge exceptional individual achievements. The Fight of the Night award remains in place for both fighters involved in the best fight. Each bonus continues to be valued at $50,000.
