NEW ORLEANS – For being a pair of relative unknowns in the UFC, Lance Benoist and T.J. Waldburger provided two
of the most memorable performances at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night
25 event.
And while newcomer Benoist netted $55,000 for his “Fight of the Night”
win over Matt Riddle and Waldburger the same amount for a “Submission
of the Night” stoppage of Mike Stumpf, each believes the added income is
secondary to the most important thing: an octagon win.
“I’m real excited about the money, but having the win in the UFC and
doing that is a lot more important,” Waldburger told MMAjunkie.com.
