Santiago Ponzinibbio, Johnny Walker, Laureano Staropoli and Hector Aldana all received an extra $50,000 for their work at UFC Fight Night 140 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Saturday night.
Ponzinibbio garnered a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for his fourth-round knockout of Magny in the evening’s welterweight headliner. “El Gente Boa” hindered his foe’s movement with a steady diet of leg kicks, then made him fall face first to the canvas with a right hand to the jaw at the 2:36 mark of round four.
Elsewhere, newcomer Johnny Walker earned the evening’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check for his upset victory over Khalil Rountree in a featured light heavyweight affair.
