UFC 258 bonuses: Kamaru Usman’s championship triumph, Anthony Hernandez’s unlikely submission earn nods

From the main event to the prelims, fighters were making history at UFC 258 and rewarded handsomely for it.

Four $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses were handed out after Saturday’s event at UFC APEX in Las Vegas, with welterweight champion Kamaru Usman leading the pack. Usman authored the third consecutive successful defense of his title with a third-round TKO of former training partner Gilbert Burns. The victory gave Usman the record for most consecutive wins by a welterweight in UFC history, breaking a tie with the legendary Georges St-Pierre.
