UFC 328 delivered a night of unforgettable action, and the bonuses prove it. Flyweight champion Joshua Van and challenger Tatsuro Taira didn't just fight—they created an instant classic in the co-main event. Van, who struggled early against Taira's relentless takedowns, found his rhythm on the feet and turned the tide. In a stunning comeback, he finished Taira via technical knockout at 1:32 of the fifth round to retain his 125-pound title. Both warriors earned "Fight of the Night" honors and a well-deserved $100,000 bonus each.
The night's other big winners? Former Bellator champion Yaroslav Amosov and veteran fan-favorite Jim Miller. Amosov secured a $100,000 "Performance of the Night" award for his dominant welterweight showing. After powering Joel Alvarez to the canvas in the second round, he smoothly transitioned to an arm-triangle choke, forcing the tap at 1:13. Meanwhile, the ageless Jim Miller reminded everyone why he's a legend. In a preliminary lightweight bout, he capitalized on Jared Gordon's exposed neck during a takedown attempt, locking in a guillotine choke for the submission win at 3:29 of the first round. That performance earned Miller the night's other $100,000 bonus.
From title fights to submission clinics, UFC 328 was a showcase of heart and skill—and the kind of action that inspires every fighter to train harder and gear up for their own moment in the spotlight.
