UFC Vegas 47’s Julian Erosa on Banking $100K In Bonuses: ‘Pretty Surreal Feeling’

Julian Erosa has made it four of five during his third run in the UFC. “Juicy J” outlasted Steven Peterson at UFC Vegas 47 on Saturday to win a split decision that took home Fight of the Night honors.

However, after Peterson missed weight by three pounds for the duo’s featherweight clash, Erosa took home his opponent’s $50,000 bonus in addition to his own. Between the two bonuses, his show money, win money, and a percentage of Peterson’s purse, Erosa took home five checks.

“I feel spectacular. Obviously, it’s the best outcome,” Erosa told MMASucka.
