Pimblett, Green and Royval each pocket $100K in bonuses at UFC 329 as McGregor suffers knee injury

Paddy Pimblett, King Green, and Brandon Royval each collected an extra $100,000 in post-fight bonuses at UFC 329, held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, on a card that produced 11 finishes but was headlined by Conor McGregor’s early knee injury in his rematch with Max Holloway.

Pimblett earned a Performance of the Night award after submitting Benoit St. Denis in the co-main event in under a minute — one of the quickest and most emphatic wins of his UFC career to date.

King Green claimed the second Performance of the Night bonus in dramatic fashion. Facing an early barrage from Terrance McKinney and surviving a submission attempt, Green turned the fight around and secured a first-round finish with just one second remaining on the clock.

Brandon Royval and Lone’er Kavanagh shared the Fight of the Night bonus after a competitive flyweight bout. Kavanagh controlled the early rounds, but Royval drew on his experience to mount a comeback and finish the fight with a rear-naked choke in the third round, with each fighter taking home $100,000.

The evening’s main event ended in anticlimactic circumstances. Conor McGregor suffered a knee injury just seconds into his rematch with Max Holloway, forcing a stoppage and handing the Hawaiian the victory. The card featured 11 finishes in total, though McGregor’s early exit cast a shadow over an otherwise action-heavy night.
