UFC 173 Bonus Awards

Following last night’s UFC 173 event in Las Vegas the recipients of the evening’s bonus awards were announced.

No doubt shocking the world and winning the bantamweight title would have been more enough for TJ Dillashaw

However, the added icing on the cake for him was that his stellar performance against Renan Barao also earned him an extra $100,000 in bonus money for both ‘Fight Of The Night’ and ‘Performance Of The Night’.

No doubt that’ll come in handy for the the new champ who’s set to marry his fiancee in just a few weeks time.

Mitch Clarke also walked away with a $50,000 ‘Performance Of The Night’ bonus for his impressive d’arce choke cinched up from his back against Al Iaquinta.

Ross launched MMA Insight (previously FightOfTheNight.com) in 2009 as a way to channel his passion for the sport of mixed martial arts. He's since penned countless news stories and live fight reports along with dozens of feature articles as the lead writer for the site, reaching millions of fans in the process.
