INDIANAPOLIS — The firepower some expected to see at UFC 119 didn’t materialize until the last minute of the last round of the last fight on the card.
And ironically, even Frank Mir, the only man who managed a knockout on the night, was not awarded a post-fight Knockout of the Night bonus for his third-round finish of Mirko Cro Cop in the main event.
Instead, in a rarity, UFC president Dana White bypassed Mir’s KO finish and instead gave two Fight of the Night bonuses, awarding $70,000 each to the participants in the Sean Sherk-Evan Dunham and Matt Mitrione-Joey Beltran matches.
