By tradition, after each of its events, UFC promotion gives out bonuses. The 249th event, which took place on May 9 in Jacksonville, was no exception. So, Justin Gaethje won in two categories: “Fight of the evening” and “Performance of the evening”. Accordingly, Justin earned 100 thousand dollars of bonuses. Another winner in the “Fight of the Evening” nomination was Tony Ferguson, who lost to Gaethje by TKO.
Francis Ngannou, who knocked out Jairzinho Rozenstruik, also won the Performance of the Evening nomination.
