The UFC was in a giving mood on Saturday night.
The Las Vegas-based promotion handed out a grand total of 11
bonuses following a
UFC 282 card that saw finishes in all but the evening’s final
two bouts.
Dricus Du
Plessis and Darren Till
received “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece following
their back-and-forth middleweight clash on the main card. Du
Plessis dominated Round 1 before Till staged a brief rally in the
second stanza. Ultimately, “Stillknocks” recovered and submitted
his English foe with a face crank at the 2:43 mark of Round 3.
Meanwhile, the other nine competitors on the card who authored a
finish — Cameron
Saaiman, T.J. Brown,
Billy
Quarantillo, Chris
Curtis, Edmen
Shahbazyan, Jairzinho
Rozenstruik, Raul Rosas
Jr., Ilia
Topuria and Santiago
Ponzinibbio — all received a $50,00 “Perofrmance of the Night”
check.
