Mounir
Lazzez, Khamzat
Chimaev, Lerone
Murphy and Modestas
Bukauskas walked away with $50,000 bonus checks for their work
at UFC
on ESPN 13 on Wednesday night.
Lazzez’s welterweight duel with Abdul
Razak Alhassan received “Fight of the Night” honors, but only
Lazzez, who won via unanimous decision in a featured contest, was
eligible for a bonus on account of Alhassan missing weight on
Tuesday. As a result, the promotion handed out three other
“Performance of the Night” awards.
Murphy took home a “Performance of the Night” bonus by making short
work of Ricardo
Ramos in a preliminary featherweight scrap. The Englishman took
his foe down and ultimately vanquished the Brazilian with heavy
ground-and-pound at the 4:18 mark of Round 1.
Chimaev impressed in his Octagon debut, earning a performance bonus
for a second-round stoppage of John
Phillips at middleweight. The Allstars Training Center member
overwhelmed his opponnent in the opening frame before securing a
brabo choke for the tapout 72 seconds into Round 2.
Finally, ex-Cage Warriors champ Bukauskas captured the card’s final
performance award by stopping Andreas
Michailidis in a light heavyweight prelim. Bukauskas unleashed
a barrage of elbows to the side of the head upon defending a
takedown late in Round 1, and Michailidis was deemed unable to
continue prior to the second stanza.
