UFC Vegas 64 post-fight bonuses: 4 earn ‘Performance of the Night’ honors in finish-heavy night
06.11.2022
Four fighters earned an additional $50,000 bonus at UFC Vegas 64 on a night heavy with finishes.
All but two of the 11 fights on Saturday’s card failed to go the distance, and so “Performance of the Night” bonuses nudged out a “Fight of the Night” bonus at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Among the people who will take home the bonus according to the UFC :
Neil Magny, who set a record for most UFC welterweight wins with a submission of Daniel Rodriguez in the co-main event.
Mario Bautista was penalized for Benito Lopez’s pillar-to–post beating. This occurred before the brutal submission to the triangle-armbar on prelims.
Polyana Viana was awarded a knockout in the first round (announced TKO of Jinh Hu Frey) in her fourth UFC first round finish.
Tamares Vidal, who got down in her cage walk and then stopped Ramona Pasqual cold with a flying knee in the prelim opener.
UFC Vegas 64 was headlined by a strawweight fight between Amanda Lemos and Marina Rodriguez and aired on ESPN+. In an upset, Lemos took home a third-round TKO with a flurry of punches but did not collect a disclosed bonus.
