The UFC handed out four post-fight bonuses after Saturday’s card, including one to a fighter in her new weight class.
After UFC Fight Night 235, four fighters picked up an extra $50,000 for their performances in Las Vegas. Check out the winners below.

Randy Brown def. Muslim Salikhov via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 3:17
Randy Brown (18-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) glanced a missile of a right hand off the chin of Muslim Salikhov (19-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC), and one punch later it was over. The bonus was Brown’s first since November 2019 and just his second in the UFC overall.

Molly McCann def. Diana Belbita via submission (armbar) – Round 1, 4:59
Molly McCann (14-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC) had a two-fight skid at flyweight, so she set out to try something different. She went to work on her grappling, dropped to strawweight, and in perfect poetic justice submitted Diana Belbita (15-9 MMA, 2-5 UFC) with an armbar with one second left in the first round. The submission was the first of McCann’s career. The bonus was her fourth in her past four wins.
