UFC 257 bonuses: Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier lead ‘Performance’ parade

A memorable first UFC pay-per-view event of 2021 is in the books, and with it comes four post-fight bonus winners.

Post-fight bonuses come either one of two ways: A “Fight of the Night” and two “Performance of the Night” awards, or four “Performance of the Night” honors.

Saturday was one of the latter nights, and four competitors will go home with an extra $50,000 in their pockets: the lightweight winners at the top of the card, Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler, and two more main carders in Makhmud Muradov and Marina Rodriguez.

UFC 257 took place Saturday at Etihad Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.

Without further ado then, here is a look at all four bonus winners:
