UFC Vegas 58 had five great finishes but there were the typical four post fight bonuses handed out.
Jamie Mullarkey and Michael Johnson bout angered the audiences with botched judging but still left a lasting impression. This is why the UFC team decided it would be optimal to reward them the Fight of the Night bonus.

Two Performance of the Night bonuses were also awarded.
First bonus for Performance of the Night went to Chase Sherman. Sherman was trailing on the scorecards against Jared Vanderaa but then delivered a third round KO. The refereeing in this one was questionable considering Vanderaa was permitted to take a lot of damage in that finish.

The second Performance of the Night bonus went to headliner Rafael Fiziev for his devastating knock out of Rafael Dos Anjos.

When all was said and done Fiziev called out Rafael Nadal – and Justin Gaethje.
“Yeah, you know I want to fight with Gaethje,” Fiziev told reporters at the UFC on ESPN 39 post-fight news conference. “… Gaethje, if you want to fight, one more yellow guy with yellow hairs (Charles Oliveira), we need to know who’s best.
“That’s a good match for you and me. If you’re ready, and you’re not scared, don’t talk sh*t and let’s go.”
“I think he would maybe make my face like this, maybe more hard,” Fiziev said as he pointed to his battered face. “He’s dangerous also and a big challenge for me. I think he has a lot of chance to knock me out, and I have a lot of chance to knock him out. That’s a good fight, I think, for fans also.”
Crypto.com does not award bonuses for non PPV events so these bonuses are everything that was handed out.
