UFC Edmonton bonuses: Record competition for $100K with 12 finishes

UFC Fight Night 291 in Edmonton delivered a historic night of finishes, with a record-tying 12 stoppages in 13 fights. The event saw four fighters earn the $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus, a rare achievement that underscored the high level of competition.

Mike Malott dominated his welterweight bout with a devastating knee strike that left Joaquin Buckley unconscious, while Marc-André Barriault secured a first-round TKO victory against Kyle Daukaus with precise elbows. Mandel Nallo also stood out, overpowering Nate Landwehr with relentless striking to claim his first UFC win.

Meanwhile, Joel Faglier staged an improbable second-round comeback after absorbing heavy damage in the opening frame, finishing Javad Mahjoub to secure his bonus. Beyond the $100K winners, eight other fighters received $25,000 finish bonuses for their knockout or submission victories, including Cristian Perez, who ended Kyle Nelson’s fight in just 27 seconds—the fastest stoppage of the night.
