Robert Whittaker looked like a man on a mission last night (Sat., Apr. 17, 2021) at UFC Vegas 24 live on ESPN/ESPN+ from inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nev., when the former UFC middleweight champion stifled Kelvin Gastelum for a lopsided main event beatdown (highlights HERE).

In addition to the middleweight headliner, a collection of main card and “Prelims” matchups produced noteworthy action. Check them out below:

  • Middleweight veteran Gerald Meerschaert returned to the win column with a first-round submission finish over Bartosz Fabinski
  • Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski looked really sharp in a dominant win over veteran striker Chase Sherman
  • Bantamweight prospect Tony Gravely scored his first UFC finish with a second-round TKO over Anthony Birchak (see it HERE)

In order to sift through the action and see which fighters took home an extra $50,000, we take a closer look at the official UFC Vegas 24 bonus winners below:
