   ​Following an amazing UFC 329 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, the UFC revealed the bonus award winners. Here are all of the bonus winners. At flyweight, Brandon Royval earned a standout victory over Lone’er Kavanagh with a third-round submission after a back-and-forth war between the two fighters. Royval controlled the first round with more effective striking and grappling, Kavanagh found a second-round knockdown, and in the third, Royval hit the ground and secured a submission to reaffirm his status as one of the elite in the division.
In the co-main event, Paddy Pimblett submitted Benoit Saint Denis in the first round via D’Arce choke. Saint Denis initially shot in for a blind takedown, then immediately locked in Pimblett’s neck, resulting in a quick, decisive choke that showcased Pimblett’s elite technique.
At lightweight, King Green defeated Terrance McKinney by first-round TKO in the final moments of the opening frame. McKinney was pressing the pace and dealing the damage, but Green wore him down and capitalized in the closing seconds to earn his fourth straight win.
In the main event, Max Holloway defeated Conor McGregor by first-round TKO after McGregor suffered a knee injury just 1:09 into the first round. While the ending was somewhat anticlimactic, Holloway still earned the victory.
