The
Ultimate Fighting Championship gave four fighters performance
bonuses following the
UFC 291 pay-per-view card.
Fresh off winning the „BMF“ championship, Justin
Gaethje also received $50,000 for his stunning head kick
knockout of Dustin
Poirier. The rematch came to an end one minute into the second
round, with Gaethje landing a thudding head kick that took out
Poirier. The win cements Gaethje as the top contender and likely
earns the action fighter another lightweight title shot.
Two impressive submission victories were also awarded $50,000
bonuses. Bobby Green
got the extra cash for his impressive last-second arm-triangle
choke win over Tony
Ferguson, which left his lightweight foe unconscious.
Meanwhile, Kevin
Holland’s impressive brabo choke win over Michael
Chiesa also received submission of the night honors. Finally,
Derrick
Lewis took home an extra $50k for his dominant KO win over
Marcos
Rogerio de Lima, who he smashed in 33 seconds after landing a
jumping knee.
