UFC Fight Night 72 bonuses: Joe Duffy earns $50,000 with submission of Ivan Jorge

UFC lightweight Joe Duffy's tour of dominance in the Octagon continues. Not only did the Irish fighter defeat Ivan Jorge in the first round with a triangle choke, he earned $50,000 in a Performance of the Night bonus.

Both Duffy and Jorge started the fight exchanging, but it was Duffy who right away asserted his dominance, cracking the Brazilian with an array of punches and a jumping switch knee. The end came after Jorge attempted a takedown attempt from double underhooks, but in the transition, Duffy was able to twist at an angle and lock his feet together.
