An exciting UFC Fight Night 86 event, emanating from inside Zagreb, Arena in Zagreb, Croatia, today (Sun., April 10, 2016), is all wrapped up, which means it’s now time to honor those who gave a little bit extra inside the Octagon.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) doled out its customary post-fight performance bonuses to four of the 26 fighters on the evening’s card. There was no “Fight of the Night” bonus winner, with four fighters taking home “Performance of the Night” awards instead.

Among those who went home with an extra $50,000 check was Derrick Lewis following his first-round knockout over Gabriel Gonzaga (see it again here).

Mairbek Taisumov also walked away with a big bonus for his devastating first-round knockout victory via uppercut over Damir Hadzovic (video replay here).

Here are the UFC Fight Night 86 bonuses:

Performance of the night: Derrick Lewis

Performance of the night: Mairbek Taisumov

Performance of the night: Alejandro Perez

Performance of the night: Jared Cannonier

Again, each fighter received $50,000 extra for their performances in addition to their respective base salaries, which we will pass along as soon as possible if that information is made available.
