UFC St. Petersburg post-fight bonuses: Makhachev-Tsarukyan take FOTN honors

The Yubileyny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia was home to a solid night of fights. The card saw five (T)KOs, one submission, and five decisions, including one split-decision.

Performances of the Night: Magomed Mustafaev, Sergei Pavlovich

Lightweights Magomed Mustafaev and Rafael Fiziev kicked off the card with a quick bit of violence that started with a spinning back kick that dropped Fiziev. After regaining his feet, Fiziev was met with a sharp low kick, but was able to return one of his own. Within a few moments, though, he met the business end of another one of Mustafaev’s spinning back kicks with his face.
