The comeback victory of Iuri Marajó about Luke sanders earned the Brazilian a bonus of US$50. He was awarded one of the Performance of the Night awards after submitting the American with a kneebar in the second round. This happened after he was almost knocked out twice during the opening round. Marajó's comeback impressed the UFC, which rewarded him for his performance.

In addition to the Brazilian, Darren Elkins also received the same amount for Performance of the Night. The American also won by upset, but knocked out his opponent, Bosnian Mirsad Bektic. After almost 13 minutes of Bektic's dominance, Elkins took advantage of an oversight by his opponent, who had his back to him, and hit a high shot that eliminated Mirsad instantly.
In addition to two Performance of the Night bonuses, Ultimate also presents the members of the best Fight of the Night. And those elected were David Teymur and Lando vannata. After Nurmagomedov x Ferguson left the UFC 209 program, the two were promoted to the second most important fight of the event and did not disappoint. Exchanging hard and plastic blows for 15 minutes, Teymur and Vannata drove the Las Vegas audience crazy. In the end, better for the Swedish Teymur, who won in a unanimous decision.
