UFC 304 Bonuses: Paddy Pimblett Banks Double-Bonus Payout

Three Fighters Awarded Bonuses After Manchester Card

Edwards Defends Belt, Pimblett Impresses

The UFC handed out three bonuses following Saturday's UFC 304 card in Manchester, England, with Paddy Pimblett taking home a double bonus for his highlight-reel win. Pimblett, a rising lightweight prospect, earned $200,000 in bonuses for his first-round submission victory over Jordan Leavitt. The 27-year-old Englishman has now won all three of his UFC fights in the first round, and his performance on Saturday further cemented his status as one of the most exciting young fighters in the sport.

In the main event, Leon Edwards successfully defended his welterweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Nate Diaz. Edwards controlled the fight throughout, and his performance earned him the Fight of the Night bonus. Tom Aspinall also earned a Performance of the Night bonus for his first-round submission victory over Curtis Blaydes.

The UFC 304 card featured 13 bouts, and the three bonus winners were all deserving of the recognition. Pimblett's performance was particularly impressive, and he is now one of the most talked-about fighters in the UFC.
