UFC on ESPN+ 10 bonuses: Aspen Ladd-Sijara Eubanks barnburner earns ‘Fight of the Night’

Aspen Ladd, Sijara Eubanks, Michel Pereira, and Grant Dawson earned $50,000 apiece for their performances at UFC Rochester.

UFC officials announced Saturday’s bonus winners following the event.

Eubanks (4-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Ladd (8-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) had a fun, back-and-forth bantamweight brawl in the UFC on ESPN+ 10 featured prelim bout. Ladd won via unanimous decision, repeating the result of their first bout in 2017. The duo earned “Fight of the Night” honors.

Pereira (23-9 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Dawson (14-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), meanwhile, took “Performance of the Night” awards.

Pereira’s debut was memorable in all aspects. The welterweight was emotional in his walkout, breakdanced during his cage intro, then felled Danny Roberts (16-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC) with a wicked flying knee at 1:47 of the opening round.

Dawson, for his part, used a rear-naked choke to finish Mike Trizano (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at 2:27 of the second round in their featherweight fight.

UFC on ESPN+ 10 took place Saturday at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y. The card streamed on ESPN+.
