UFC Fight Night 41 Bonus Awards

Following tonight’s UFC Fight Night 41 event in Germany the recipients of the evening’s $50,000 fighter bonus awards were announced.

On this occasion the UFC opted to dispense with the ‘Fight Of The Night’ award and instead chose to hand out four ‘Performance’ bonuses.

The first went to Gegard Mousasi for his dominant performance against Mark Munoz in the main event of the evening.

CB Dollaway pocketed a bonus for a solid display against Francis Carmont in the co-main event that left him with four wins in his last five fights and

Late replacement Niklas Backstrom also scooped up a performance bonus after his upset submission victory against Tom Niinimaki in the opening fight on the main card.

Finally, Magnus Cedenblad picked up the final performance bonus for his last second guillotine choke in the second round against Krzysztof Jotko.

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.
