Charles Oliveira, James Krause, Ricardo Ramos and Randy Brown collected $50,000 bonuses at Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 22 event.
All four fighters – the only four fighters to earn finishes on the night – were awarded “Performance of the Night” awards, and no “Fight of the Night” was given. UFC officials announced the winners following the event, which took place at Ginasio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo.
Oliveira (28-8 MMA, 16-8 UFC) is known for his submission prowess, but he proved he can strike, as well, mowing down an aggressive Jared Gordon (15-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) in just 86 seconds to claim an extra $50,000.
Krause (27-7 MMA, 8-3 UFC) closed out the night’s prelims in fine fashion, shutting down submission ace Sergio Moraes over the course of three rounds. While it appeared he might cruise to a decision win, Krause landed a huge right hand in the final minute, stopping the fight and earning the veteran a bonus check.
Ramos (14-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) looked absolutely sensational on the prelims, slick on the feet before taking it to the floor and scoring a submission win over a previously undefeated Eduardo Garagorri.
Similar to Oliveira earlier in the night, Brown (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) didn’t necessarily shock the work through victory, but rather the way he did it, submitting Brazilian Warlley Alves with a beautiful triangle choke for the victory and the extra check.
