UFC Vegas 16 bonuses: Hermansson vs. Vettori ‘Fight of the Night,’ two extras get ‘pretty decent checks’

There are four official bonus-winners after UFC Vegas 16. But a pair of fighters will also get additional money, per UFC President Dana White.

White announced $50,000 “Fight of the Night” checks going to middleweight headliners between Marvin Vettori and Jack Hermansson, who waged an exciting five-round fight that Vettori took via unanimous decision.

“Performance of the Night” winners included Jordan Wright, who was a shoo-in for extra cash for his slam knockout of Matt Wiman on the opening main card fight, and Gabriel Benitez, who stopped Justin Jaynes cold with a knee to the body later in the night at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
