Parnasse's liver-kick finish headlines four $100K bonus winners at UFC Paris
Salahdine Parnasse earned a performance bonus alongside Axel Sola, Mario Pinto, and Losene Keita after all four fighters secured brutal early finishes at UFC Paris on September 5, 2026.
Salahdine Parnasse headlined the bonus haul at UFC Paris on September 5, 2026, pocketing an extra $100,000 after stopping Dan Hooker with a liver kick in under three minutes. The Frenchman, now 24-2, wasted no time in the main event and followed his victory by calling out featherweight star Max Holloway.
Co-main event standout Axel Sola also earned $100,000 for a highlight-reel knockout of Fares Ziam. A precisely timed left hook left Ziam unconscious on the canvas for a prolonged period, cementing Sola’s record at 13-1-1 and marking back-to-back finishes inside the Octagon for the French prospect.
Mario Pinto and Losene Keita rounded out the four bonus recipients with equally emphatic performances. Pinto, who remains undefeated at 13-0, ground out a finish against Ryan Spann in a competitive heavyweight affair. Keita needed just a single punch to put away Muhammadjon Naimov inside one round, improving his record to 17-2.
The clean sweep of performance bonuses underlined a night of relentless finishing in Paris, with none of the four rewarded fights reaching the judges’ scorecards.
