With 15 fights and plenty of thrilling moments at UFC 259, four fighters stood above the rest.
Saturday’s $50,000 post-event bonuses went to light heavyweights Kennedy Nzechukwu and Carlos Ulberg, who won Fight of the Night for their lively standup war, and flyweight Kai Kara-France and lightweight Uros Medic for their first-round finishes.
On a star-studded card, Nzechukwu stole the show with a comeback win over Ulberg, a highly-vaunted City Kickboxing product. Ulberg got off to a fast start in his UFC debut, putting the pressure on Nzechukwu with a barrage of strikes, but Nzechukwu weathered the storm before battling back in the second and sitting Ulberg down with power right hand.
