The
Ultimate Fighting Championship stayed home for
UFC Fight Night 200, where three competitors pocketed some
serious bonus money on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Julian
Erosa doubled dipped, as “Juicy J” was awarded $100,000 for his
“Fight of the Night” with Steven
Peterson. The two tore into each other for three rounds, with
Erosa walking away as a split decision winner. Peterson was
ineligible for his share of the bonus money—it went to his
counterpart instead—due to his failure to make weight for the
match.
Meanwhile, Shavkat
Rakhmonov nabbed a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for
his vicious knockout of Carlston
Harris in their showcase affair at 170 pounds. Rakhmonov
knocked the Renovacao Fight Team member to the canvas with a
spinning hook kick, then finished him off with a series of lethal
right hands.
Finally, middleweight Chidi
Njokuani took home the other $50,000 “Performance of the Night”
bonus after he shellacked Marc-Andre
Barriault in just 16 seconds. The Bellator
MMA veteran unloaded with a sizzling punching combination that
floored Barriault where he stood. Njokuani closed it out moments
later, authoring the second-fastest finish in history for a fighter
making a UFC debut.
