UFC Fight Night 178 featured plenty of fun fights and
impressive finishes, which has led to four mixed martial artists
becoming $50,000 richer.
The most obvious pick was Khamzat
Chimaev, who wiped out Gerald
Meerschaert
with just one punch. With the 17-second KO, Chimaev improves to
9-0.
Also earning $50,000 is Mackenzie
Dern, who put on a grappling clinic against Randa
Markos. The Arizona native was able to put Markos
in a tight armbar and earned a submission win just 3:44 into
the fight. Dern advances to 9-1 with the victory.
Randy
Costa‘s incredible high kick KO of Journey
Newson was also compensated financially. The
finish came just 41 seconds into the bout and Costa (6-1) has
now knocked out two straight opponents.
Finally, Damon
Jackson‘s upset win over Mirsad
Bektic was awarded 50 grand. Jackson’s Round 3 comeback was a
major upset as he
sunk in a guillotine choke after losing both rounds.
