TUF 20 Finale Bonuses

Following last night’s TUF 20 Finale event in Las Vegas the winners of the evening’s $50,000 fighter bonus awards were announced.

Earning ‘Fight Of The Night’ honors was the main card opener, a competitive battle between two of the season’s best fighters, Jessica Penne and Randa Markos who both gave a good account of themselves, with Penne’s BJJ skills helping her to a split decision win.

TUF 20 winner and new strawweight champion Carla Esparza also walked away with a ‘Performance Of The Night’ award for her assured display of wrestling against Rose Namajunas that was capped off with a rear-naked choke finish in the third round.

The other ‘Performance Of The Night’ bonus was handed to Yancy Medeiros who was able to drop Joe Proctor with a spinning kick to the body late in the first round before finishing with a guillotine choke.

Over the years I've watched the UFC develop into the powerhouse it is today, organizations like PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC rise and fall, and Bellator emerge as a new force on the MMA landscape. Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
