Fights that didn’t go the distance ended by knockout at UFC Vegas 22, and four of six to earn concussive wins took home $50,000 bonuses for “Performance of the Night.”
Max Griffin, Adrian Yanez, Grant Dawson and Bruno Silva clinched the bonuses on Saturday at UFC APEX, the promotion announced after the event.
Griffin was bumped last-minute to the co-main event and made the most of his spotlight. After a lightweight bout between Gregor Gillespie and Brad Riddell was cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols, Griffin took on Kenan Song and picked up a first-round knockout with a one-two down the pipe that forced referee intervention at the 2:20 mark of the opening frame.
