UFC Boise Bonuses

Here’s all four fighters that earned a performance bonus at UFC Fight Night 133 from Boise, Idaho.

UFC Boise is now behind us, and I must say it was a pretty entertaining card for a little Fight Night even in potato land, Idaho. Even though the main event between Junior dos Santos and Blagoy Ivanov didn’t end in a finish, there was more than enough knockouts running down the card to keep things lively. And while the right people didn’t always win via decision, most of the three round scraps were solid back and forth battles.

But let’s get to the meat, what you’re here for: the $50,000 performance bonuses. Here’s who got them this time:

Fight of the Night: Holobaugh vs. Barcelos

Performance of the Night: Niko Price

Performance of the Night: Chad Mendes

There’s no one on the card who needed that bonus more than Mendes, who spent the past two years on the shelf after (he claims) a prescription skin cream led him to fail a USADA drug test. Now Mendes isn’t just back in the featherweight title picture, he’s sitting on a nice little bit of bonus money to boot. Not bad, “Money.”
