Though the UFC Vegas 111 headliner ended in controversy, Gabriel Bonfim nonetheless received a little extra compensation for his efforts.
Bonfim dropped Randy Brown with a knee in Round 2, sending his foe to the canvas in a dazed state. While Brown attempted to defend himself on the floor by covering up, the bout was waved off at the 1:40 mark of the period. As a result, Bonfim received a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus.
Meanwhile, Christian Leroy Duncan garnered a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check by making short work of Marco Tulio in a featured middleweight affair.
