The UFC Encyclopedia Awards are four separate unofficial award categories based on selections from UFC/Zuffa LLC editorial director and senior editor of UFC.com Thomas Gerbasi, who also compiles the UFC.com Half-Year and Year-End Awards. The hand-picked "unofficial" performance awards, published in Gerbasi's 400-page official UFC book entitled "UFC Encyclopedia - The Definitive Guide to the Ultimate Fighting Championship" in October 2011, were for events prior to the introduction of the UFC Bonus Awards in January 2006.
The first documented UFC Bonus Awards event, where fighters received official cash bonuses, was on January 16, 2006 at Ultimate Fight Night 3. Gerbasi's book reviewed 63 events prior to that date as well as subsequent events that did not have bonuses, and noted the "unofficial" awards including the official UFC Bonus Awards. The following categories were documented:
- Fight of the Night: Awarded to the two fighters who delivered the most impressive fight on the card.
- Knockout of the Night: Awarded to the fighter with the most impressive knockout/technical knockout.
- Submission of the Night: Awarded to the fighter with the most impressive submission.
- One-Hit Wonders: Awarded to fighters who had a notable performance despite having only competed in one bout or event in the UFC.
Note: Due to multiple bouts from a fighter in one event, opponent information ("def.") is only included for the early UFC events that had tournaments
Note 2: The order of the One-Hit Wonders indicated here is taken from the source itself
Note 3: One-Hit Wonders fighters had competed in one event in the UFC at the time of the book publication, but some did compete in the UFC after the publication date.
Note 4: At Ultimate Fight Night 3, the first Fight of the Night award was officially given. From that event up until the final event with unofficial awards at The Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale, unless specifically noted as "unofficial", all other bonuses listed are official, matching the ones on the Bonus Awards page.
