UFC Edmonton wrapped up with an explosive showdown between flyweights Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi. Moreno reminded everyone why he once wore the belt, delivering a performance that looked like he’d never missed a beat. But while Moreno’s display was top-notch, Dana White wasn’t so impressed as to award him the extra $50,000 bonus. This raises the question: who did UFC’s CEO decide to reward with the bonus for the night? Here’s the answer to it.
The UFC Edmonton event set a record as the longest in UFC history, with only four fights ending in finishes while the remaining nine, including Moreno vs. Albazi, went the distance. Those who managed to secure finishes stood out in a night filled with decisions, catching Dana White’s eye—and pocketing the extra $50,000 bonus.
Youssef Zalal was among those who snagged a Performance of the Night bonus. He put on a show, landing a perfect knee up the middle against Jack Shore early in the second round. Shore dropped to the canvas, and Zalal wasted no time, locking in an arm-triangle choke to secure the finish.
In the prelims, Charles Jourdain turned the tide with a lightning-fast submission against Victor Henry. During a scramble to get up, Jourdain managed to latch onto Henry’s neck, applying an incredibly tight choke. Henry had no choice but to tap out within mere seconds, showcasing Jourdain’s skill and earning him a well-deserved $50,000 bonus for his Performance of the Night.

After applying relentless pressure early on, Stoltzfus struck with a vicious combination in the final 30 seconds. A brutal right hand sent Barriault crashing to the canvas, granting Stoltzfus a vital bounce-back round 1 victory.
