Both Ramiz
Brahimaj and Jordan
Leavitt received $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonuses for
their work at UFC
Vegas 107 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
Brahimaj used a standing guillotine choke to put Billy Goff
to sleep at the 3:16 mark of Round 1 in their featured welterweight
clash. It was the New York native’s 11th professional triumph
inside of a round.
Earlier on the card, Leavitt made an impact in his first fight
since 2023, as he earned a technical submission win against
Kurt
Holobaugh with an anaconda choke 1:39 into the opening stanza
of their preliminary lightweight showdown.
Elsewhere, Alice
Ardelean and Rayanne
dos Santos secured “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000
apiece for their strawweight slugfest to open the card. While both
fighters traded willingly on the feet throughout, it was Ardelean
who ultimately got the nod on the judges’ scorecards in a unanimous
decision triumph.
