The UFC handed down their bonuses for the UFC Vegas 35 card, and decided to go with four performance of the night bonuses, awarding them to Abdul-Razak Al-Hassan, Gerald Meerschaert, Giga Chikadze, and Pat Sabatini. Al-Hassan was an automatic choice for his headkick of Alessio Di Chirico, as that will be an immediate knockout of the year contender. Gerald Meerschaert earned a $50,000 check for his comeback submission victory over Makhmud Muradov. Giga Chikadze obviously was stellar in the main event vs. Edson Barboza, and finally Pat Sabatini earned his bonus for his heelhook victory over Jamall Emmers.

Worth noting that Dana White additionally stated that he would be giving a bonus to Ricky Turcios and Brady Hiestand for their performance in the bantamweight TUF finale.
