The UFC handed out four post-fight bonuses after Saturday’s card, including rewards for a few devastating finishes.
After UFC Fight Night 232, four fighters picked up an extra $50,000 for their performances at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Check out the winners below.
'Performance of the Night': Jeka Saragih
Jeka Saragih picked up the first win of his UFC career at UFC Fight Night 232 in Las Vegas, and he did so with a crushing knockout of his opponent Lucas Alexander. Saragih didn’t need much time to get the job done either, as he slumped Alexander 91 seconds into the fight. Saragih’s trip to Las Vegas results in a new clip for his highlight reel, and the first $50,000 bonus of his UFC career.
'Performance of the Night': Joanderson Brito
Joanderson Brito was satisfied with his win for a number of reasons, but the manner in which it played out with his opponent Jonathan Pearce made for an interesting moment. The two were mocking each other on the ground, with Pearce challenging Brito to “get up and do something about it.” Brito did exactly that by getting to his feet and tapping Pearce with a ninja choke a few seconds later. Brito takes home his second Performance of the Night bonus for his submission as he extends his winning streak to four. Not to mention, Brito taking off his shorts like Derrick Lewis while he celebrated made for a highlight of a different sort.
'Performance of the Night': Amanda Ribas
Amanda Ribas returned to strawweight after a stint at 125 pounds to take on a former housemate. While Ribas and Luana Pinheiro may have spent some time together under the same roof, they put on a firefight at the UFC Apex. Pinheiro had the upper hand early, but Ribas adjusted and shifted the momentum in her favor up until the moment she put together the finishing sequence in the third round. Ribas takes home her second bonus for her performance in her first fight at 115 pounds since 2021.
'Performance of the Night': Brendan Allen
Brendan Allen made a statement in his second UFC main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The rising middleweight turned in a dominant performance against Paul Craig, finding a rear-naked choke submission to finish the fight in Round 3. Allen makes it six straight, and has his eyes set on a No. 1 contender fight. He also takes home the third $50,00 bonus of his 13-fight UFC career.
