"With post-fight bonuses upped to $100,000 U.S. (double their previous 50K value) and a new $25,000 finish bonus for any finishes outside the Fight of the Night/Performance of the Night, there was big money up for grabs. With just four finishes on the UFC Vegas 113 card, however, everyone with a stoppage had a solid chance of hitting it big. In the end, the promotion awarded main event bantamweight Mario Bautista one of the two 100K Performance of the Night bonuses."
"The second Performance bonus went to bantamweight Jakub Wiklacz, who forced a tap from Muin Gafurov in the final second of their fight. Gafurov, who had a good chance at winning on the scorecards, played it off like he hadn't tapped, but a review by the officials showed he had, at literally the final second. Nikolay Veretennikov and Dustin Jacoby were the other finishers on the night, and both should be taking home $25,000."
UFC Vegas 113 inaugurated the UFC's Paramount+ Fight Night era with official post-fight bonuses. Bonuses rose to $100,000 (previously $50,000) and a $25,000 finish bonus was added for finishes outside Fight of the Night or Performance of the Night. Only four finishes on the card increased each finisher's chances at the larger payouts. Mario Bautista earned a $100,000 Performance bonus after submitting Vinicius Oliveira by rear-naked choke in round two. Jakub Wiklacz claimed the other $100,000 by forcing Muin Gafurov to tap at the final second, confirmed by review. Nikolay Veretennikov and Dustin Jacoby received $25,000 each, and Fight of the Night went to Michal Oleksiejczuk over Marc-Andre Barriault.
