At UFC 183, Anderson Silva and Joe Lauzon, two of the most prolific bonus winners in UFC history, appeared inside the Octagon.
While The Spider did win in the main event, neither he nor Lauzon was able to take home a bonus on Saturday. Silva has now gone four straight appearances without taking home a bonus, while Lauzon has missed out on bonuses in three of his past four outings.
Since Silva and Lauzon have been slumping in the bonus category, several fighters are gaining ground and closing in on the UFC record. It’s a record that doesn’t get mentioned much, but there is a clear correlation between the most regular bonus winners and fighter popularity.
Following UFC 183, here are the eight fighters with the most UFC bonuses, with Diego Sanchez, Sam Stout, Wanderlei Silva, Jon Jones and Charles Oliveira all missing the list by only one bonus win.
