Four fighters were recognized for their exceptional performances and awarded $50,000 bonuses following UFC 316, which took place on Saturday.

Men’s bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and the new women’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison each secured a Performance of the Night bonus for their title-winning efforts.

In the main event, Merab Dvalishvili successfully defended his belt with a submission victory over rival Sean O’Malley. In the co-main event, Kayla Harrison made a successful debut and claimed the women`s bantamweight title by delivering a dominant performance against Julianna Peña.

As no Fight of the Night bonus was given, two additional Performance of the Night bonuses were distributed. These went to Kevin Holland and UFC newcomer Joo Sang Yoo.

Kevin Holland opened the main card by demonstrating his grappling prowess, securing a slick submission against Vicente Luque. This marks the ninth Performance of the Night bonus of Holland`s career.

Joo Sang Yoo made an incredibly impressive first appearance in the octagon, needing just one punch to knock out Jeka Saragih. The South Korean fighter remains undefeated with a record of 9-0 after this win.
