The
Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded four fighters
performance bonuses following the
UFC on ESPN 49 card.
Mayra
Bueno Silva made the most of her UFC main event slot as she
managed to put away former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm in
the second round
with an impressive standing guillotine choke. As a result of
her submission win, Silva took home an extra $50,000 after being
awarded a Performance of the Night bonus. The stoppage officially
came just 38 seconds into Round 2.
The other Performance of the Night bonus went to Francisco
Prado. The Argentina native quickly put away Ottman
Azaitar
with a series of punches that were landed on the ground after
scoring a beautiful spinning elbow. Finally, Fight of the Night
went to Jack
Della Maddalena and Bassil
Hafez. While Hafez put on a spirited performance on less than a
week’s notice, Maddelena would ultimately take a split-decision win
thanks to a dominant third round. The back-and-forth bout earned
both fighters an extra $50,000.
