Joe Lauzon, Nate Diaz and Marcus Davis each pocketed a $60,000 performance-based bonus at Saturday’s UFC 118 in Boston, Mass.
Lauzon, a Boston native, spoiled Gabe Ruediger’s return by dominating Ruediger before tapping him out with an armbar. Lauzon won the Submission of the Night. Lauzon has now won a post-fight award in each of his last three fights and the armbar was Lauzon’s third career Submission of the Night.
Diaz and Davis threw down for nearly three rounds until Diaz rendered Davis unconscious with a choke. No stranger to post-fight awards, the two shared the honor for Fight of the Night. It was Diaz’s fourth and Davis’ third Fight of the Night award.
UFC 118 saw five submissions and five decisions — and no knockouts.
