Junior Dos Santos, Derrick Lewis, Beneil Dariush and Niko Price each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at today’s UFC on ESPN+ 4 event.
Dos Santos and Lewis earned the “Fight of the Night,” while Dariush and Price each won “Performance of the Night” honors.
UFC officials announced the winners following the event, which MMA Junkie attended.
Dos Santos (21-5 MMA, 15-4 UFC) and Lewis (21-8 MMA, 12-6 UFC) slugged it out back and forth in the main event with each seeming to get close to a finish. But early in the second round, Dos Santos finally put Lewis away with a TKO.
Dariush (16-4-1 MMA, 10-4-1 UFC) was hurt in the first round against Drew Dober (20-9 MMA, 6-5 UFC) in their lightweight fight, but he recovered, got the fight to the canvas in the second round and put Dober away with a nasty armbar.
Price (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) was hurt early against Tim Means (28-11-1 MMA, 10-8 UFC), but weathered the storm in their welterweight bout. Then, late in the opening frame, Price landed a massive right hand and put Means out cold.
