The Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded four fighters performance bonuses on the UFC Fight Night 202 card.
Lightweight standout Arman Tsarukyan secured a $50,000 bonus by bloodying up and dominating Joel Alvarez. After using elbows to open up a nasty cut on Alvarez, Tsarukyan finished the fight early in Round 2. The win moves "Ahalkalakets" to 18-2.
The other performance bonus went to co-main event winner, Wellington Turman. The Brazilian fought through adversity and managed to catch opponent Misha Cirkunov with a slick armbar in Round 2 of their middleweight bout. Turman advances to 18-5 with the win and has now won two straight inside the Octagon.
Finally, the fight of the night was awarded to women's flyweight fighters Priscila Cachoeira and Ji Yeon Kim. The two fighters went back-and-forth over three rounds, with Cachoeira nabbing a unanimous decision victory and living up to her "Zombie Girl" moniker. While many fans saw the fight going the other way, the extra $50,000 will help soothe "Fire Fist."
