Four “Performance of the Night” bonuses were handed out on Saturday night, as Cody Garbrandt, Aljamain Sterling, Sean O’Malley and Alex Perez each received $50,000 checks for their efforts at UFC 250.
Garbrandt made a triumphant return from a three-bout skid with a spectacular knockout of Raphael Assuncao in the evening’s co-main event. With time running down, “No Love” dipped his shoulder and loaded up on a powerful right hook, rendering his foe unconscious 4:59 into the second stanza.
Sterling made short work of fellow bantamweight contender Cory Sandhagen in a featured bout, earning a submission victory at the 1:28 mark of Round 1. “Funk Master” quickly took his opponent’s back and hunted for a rear-naked choke, and he secured the maneuver the second time around to move his name to the top of the contender’s list at 135 pounds.
Elsewhere, Sean O’Malley continued to build upon his considerable hype by making short work of Eddie Wineland in a featured bantamweight affair. “Sugar” Sean feinted an uppercut and then followed with an overhand right to knock his adversary out cold 1:54 into the first frame.
Finally, Alex Perez made a statement at flyweight with a finish of Jussier Formiga in a preliminary contest. The Team Oyama representative attacked the legs of his foe with a purpose, dropping the Brazilian twice with leg kicks before the bout was waved off at the 4:06 mark of Round 1.
