The Ultimate Fighting Championship gave four fighters performance bonuses following the UFC 292 pay-per-view card.
Fresh off winning the bantamweight championship, Sean O'Malley also received $50,000 for his shocking TKO win over Aljamain Sterling. The main event came to an end less than a minute into the second round after O'Malley landed a perfect counter right hand that dropped Sterling. After following up with pinpoint accurate ground and point, O'Malley claimed his first title win.
UFC women's strawweight champion Weili Zhang was also awarded a $50,000 bonus for her successful title defense. While Zhang didn't get the finish, she completely dominated challenger Amanda Lemos over five rounds. Finally, the fight of the night went to "The Ultimate Fighter" finalists Brad Katona and Cody Gibson. The two bantamweights went to war with Katona eventually taking a unanimous decision victory and the UFC contract.
