UFC 330: Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry Headline a Bonus-Packed Night in Philadelphia

UFC 330 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on August 15 delivered two title fights and a bonus sheet that reflected the depth of action across the entire card. Four fighters earned $100,000 each for their performances while four more collected $25,000 finish bonuses on a night the city will remember.

UFC 330 Bonuses

Performance of the Night: Dustin Stoltzfus

Dustin Stoltzfus walked in as a significant underdog at UFC 330 and walked out with a rear-naked choke finish over Mansur Abdul-Malik in round two and $100,000 in his pocket. He controlled the grappling early before hurting Abdul-Malik on the feet and dragging the fight back to the mat to secure the submission. A massive upset and a deserved bonus for the Pennsylvania native performing in front of a home crowd.

Performance of the Night: Charles Johnson

Charles Johnson’s night looked to be slipping away before he produced one of the most remarkable comebacks on the card. Down on the scorecards heading into the third round of a catchweight contest against Eduardo Chapolin, Johnson locked in a Scottish twister submission to force the tap and collect his second victory of 2026. Only the second time this submission has been recorded in UFC history, following Murtazali Magomedov’s debut finish earlier this year.

Performance of the Night: Jeremiah Wells

Jeremiah Wells trailed 20-18 on the scorecards heading into the third round against Myktybek Orolbai at UFC 330 and needed a finish. He got one in stunning fashion, rocking his opponent before immediately wrapping a standing ninja choke and putting him to sleep for one of the biggest upsets of the year.

Performance of the Night: Jalin Turner

Jalin Turner needed 39 seconds at UFC 330. He pushed the pace immediately, caught Kaue Fernandes during a spinning movement, dropped him with a left hand, and finished with follow-up strikes. Second consecutive first-round finish for Turner and another dominant statement performance.
