Johnny Walker, Damian Pinas, Imanol Rodriguez and Roman Kopylov took the bonuses from UFC 332, Dana White announced after the card in Salt Lake City, and all 11 fighters who won by knockout were given an extra $25,000.

"Bonuses went to Walker, Pinas, Rodriguez and Kopylov, and then obviously 11 knockouts, so 11 fighters got 25 grand for finish bonuses," White said. He did not give the size of the four main bonuses. The gate was $2.7 million and the attendance 16,492.

Walker stopped Sunderland's Mick Parkin with a knee in his heavyweight debut, Pinas and Rodriguez won by first-round knockout, and Kopylov, who White said "was a huge underdog", stopped Ateba Gautier. Payton Talbott missed out despite finishing Deiveson Figueiredo in the first round; White said he "was a huge favourite in the fight though".

On the main event, White said of Wang Cong after her unanimous decision loss to Natalia Silva: "I think that when Wang goes back and watches the film, she's going to hate herself. I think that if she had stepped on the gas a little earlier, it would have been a completely different fight. It was close." He wants the new champion to be active.

On Herb Dean's stoppage of King Green against Esteban Ribovics, after it was put to him that Green had gone live online angry at the referee, White said: "Herb's having a rough f***ing year." But he added: "Bobby was laying there going, you know, but he got dropped like three times in a row. So I've seen worse stoppages."

Asked about Rafael dos Anjos, who took his gloves off after losing to Alexander Hernandez but gave no interview, White said: "As far as I know, I don't think he's retiring, but you're going to have to ask him that, not me."

The 11 knockouts set a UFC record for a single event.
