Khalil Rountree Jr., Nasrat Haqparast, Tim Elliott, and Hyunsung Park each earned an extra $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus following their victories at the final UFC Fight Night card of 2023.
Khalil Rountree Jr. really showed up at the UFC Vegas 83 co-main event. He scored the biggest win of his career, knocking out Anthony Smith in the third round. And guess what? He pocketed an extra $50,000 as a bonus. Not bad, huh?
The final UFC Fight Night card of 2023 was a real spectacle. Four “Performance of the Night” bonuses were handed out. One of them went to Rountree. He secured his fifth straight win by taking out Smith, a one-time title challenger.
Then we had Nasrat Haqparast. He delivered a devastating first-round knockout over Jamie Mullarkey. That punch? It was worth an extra $50,000 from the UFC.
Tim Elliott, that guy’s got guts. He accepted a fight with Sumudaerji on super short notice. He wrapped up a nasty arm-triangle choke, earning a submission victory. And yep, you guessed it, he also went home $50,000 richer.
Last but not least, let’s talk about Hyunsung Park. He’s the Road to the UFC winner. He scored the final “Performance of the Night” bonus. He knocked out Shannon Ross in the second round on the preliminary card. It was impressive, to say the least.
This win took Park’s career record to 9-0. It was his first bonus in his second UFC fight. So, keep an eye on this guy, he’s going places.
