UFC Seattle Bonuses: Grasso, Pyfer Lead Big Night of Finishes and Bloodshed

SEATTLE — UFC Fight Night 271 delivered action from top to bottom and the bonuses reflected it. Following Saturday’s event at Climate Pledge Arena, the UFC awarded multiple fighters for standout performances, headlined by dominant finishes from Alexa Grasso and Joe Pyfer.

Each earned $100,000 Performance of the Night bonuses, while a brutal prelim war took home Fight of the Night honors. Grasso (17-5-1) made a statement in her return to the win column. Facing Maycee Barber in a rematch, the former flyweight champion delivered one of the most violent finishes of the year:

• A sharp 1-2 combination dropped Barber
• A follow-up rear-naked choke sealed the win though it wasn’t needed

Barber was already out from the punch. Grasso earns her first bonus since capturing the title in 2023. Pyfer (16-3) delivered the biggest win of his career. In the main event, he stopped former champion Israel Adesanya with a dominant ground-and-pound finish in Round 2. After surviving a tough first round, Pyfer:

• Found openings on the feet
• Took the fight to the ground
• Completely overwhelmed Adesanya

 Fourth straight win and second consecutive bonus.
