Despite high expectations for the three UFC fights on FOX, it was the undercard bouts that delivered on Saturday night, with all three $65,000 post-fight bonus awards going to prelim fighters from the UFC on FOX 2 event.
Heavyweight Lavar Johnson became the first man to knock out Joey Beltran, and in the process earned himself a bonus award for Knockout of the Night in his UFC debut.
Elsewhere on the prelims, Charles Oliveira took the Submission of the Night award for his first-round calf-slicer submission of Eric Wisely. Evan Dunham and Nik Lentz took the bonus for Fight of the Night after a back-and-forth battle that ended when Lentz couldn’t continue following the second round.
All four fighters pocketed $65,000 bonuses for their performances at the United Center in Chicago on Saturday night.
