Strictly based on bonus money, a trio of UFC fighters had killer years in 2025.<\/p>\n

Former bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili<\/a> and featherweights Diego Lopes<\/a>\u00a0and Jean Silva each picked up three post-fight bonus awards this year. In Lopes’ case, he got a rare double for his second-round knockout of Silva in September.<\/p>\n

They’re the only three to win three bonuses this year, but 11 fighters on the roster picked up two extra post-fight checks at $50,000 each. Only one of those fighters was a female: Carli Judice.<\/p>\n

Only Dvalishvili won any of the bonuses in title fights he won; Lopes got the first of his three in a title fight loss to Alexander Volkanovski<\/a>,<\/p>\n
