Traditionally, the UFC promotion gives out bonuses after each of its tournaments. UFC On ESPN 55, which took place this morning in Las Vegas, was no exception. Bogdan Guskov, Alex Perez, Jonatha Diniz and Uros Medich each received $50,000 in bonuses, winning the "Performance of the Night" category. That said, none of the card's bouts were recognized as the "Fight of the Night."
Alex Perez won by second-round knockout over Mateus Nicolau in the main event of the tournament. And Bogdan Guskov in the co-main event won by TKO in the second round against Ryan Spann.
Recall, the next tournament will be numbered, UFC 301, and will be held on May 4 in Rio de Janeiro.
