Junior dos Santos vs. Derrick Lewis was fun while it lasted, and that was enough to get both men paid a little bit extra.
The heavyweight headliners received “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for their featured bout at UFC Fight Night 146 in Wichita, Kan., on Saturday night. The action picked up in round one, when “Cigano” had Lewis doubled over in pain from a spinning back kick to the midsection. While Lewis was able to knock the Brazilian off balance with a right hook counter moments later, he never seemed to fully recover.
