The Fighting Nerds representative earned a $50,000 “Performance of
the Night” bonus for his quick finish of Neil Magny in
the UFC
Vegas 100 main event on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
After fending off his opponent’s attempts at grappling, Prates
knocked Magny out cold with a glancing left hand 4:50 into the
opening round of their welterweight showdown — his fourth
consecutive finish in UFC competition.
Also on the main card, Mansur
Abdul-Malik pocketed a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award
for an impressive Octagon debut. The MMA Masters prospect put away
Dusko
Todorovic with a knee and follow-up punches 2:44 into Round 1
to improve his professional mark to 7-0.
Elsewhere, Charlie
Radtke garnered a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check by
dispatching Matthew
Semelsberger in their preliminary welterweight matchup. Radtke
wobbled his opponent with a left hook and then finished the job
with a series of power punches 51 seconds into the opening
stanza.
Da’Mon
Blackshear took home the evening’s final $50,000 “Performance
of the Night” bonus for a first-round submission of Cody
Stamann in a preliminary bantamweight clash. After rocking his
foe with a flying knee and a barrage of punches, Blackshear was
able to deny a Stamann takedown, scramble into top position and
eventually lock in the fight-ending rear-naked choke 4:19 into
Round 1.
