Sean
Brady received some extra compensation for the most significant
victory of his career to date.
The Renzo
Gracie Philly standout was dominant throughout the UFC
London headliner, as he outgrappled Leon
Edwards before submitting the former champ with a guillotine
choke at the 1:39 mark of Round 4 in their welterweight bout. That
effort earned Brady a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus.
Meanwhile, Kevin
Holland took home a $50,000 peformance check for a unanimous
decision triumph over Gunnar
Nelson in the evening’s co-main event. Holland dropped his foe
in the opening stanza and engaged in multiple entertaining
grappling exchanges over the course of the three-round affair.
Elsewhere, Octagon newcomer Alexia
Thainara pocketed $50,000 for her submission of crowd favorite
Molly
McCann in a featured strawweight clash. The Brazilian was able
to ground “Meatball” early and then move to her opponent’s back,
where she locked in her second attempt at a rear-naked choke to
elicit a tap 4:32 into the opening stanza.
Finally, Shauna
Bannon took home the card’s final $50,000 “Performance of the
Night” award for rallying past Puja Tomar
in a preliminary strawweight matchup. After being dropped by a head
kick in Round 2, Bannon survived the ensuing onslaught of punches
from her opponent. From there, Bannon was able to trap her opponent
in an armbar and force a tapout at the 3:22 mark of the period.
