The UFC handed out post-fight bonuses after Saturday’s card, including the winner of a vicious stoppage.
After UFC Fight Night 228, four fighters picked up an extra $50,000 for their performances in Las Vegas. Check out the winners below.
'Performance of the Night': Charles Jourdain
Charles Jourdain kept his momentum going with an impressive finish in the first round against Ricardo Ramos. Jourdain continued to attack the guillotine choke in scrambles until he finally caught Ramos in one that he couldn’t escape. For his tight squeeze, Jourdain was awarded his second Performance of the Night bonus of his 12-fight UFC career.
'Performance of the Night': Marina Rodriguez
In a rematch from a previous main event in a higher weight class, Marina Rodriguez met Michelle Waterson-Gomez at strawweight for a three-round fight. This one got bloody in a hurry after Rodriguez blasted Waterson-Gomez with hard strikes from the clinch. Waterson-Gomez showed her toughness, but Rodriguez was relentless offensively to get the second-round TKO. Rodriguez got in a last-second request for a bonus during her post-fight interview, and was rewarded with the second bonus of her UFC career.
'Fight of the Night': Tim Means vs. Andre Fialho
In a hotly contested welterweight bout that stretched into the third round, Tim Means and Andre Fialho left a memorable mark on the evening. Both fighters were rocked at points during the fight, but neither man ever backed down, making for an exciting fight worthy of the Fight of the Night bonus. Means was able to get the finish at 1:15 of Round 3, but the battle that took place in the first two rounds is what earned both fighters an extra $50,000.
