UFC Vegas 29 gave fans some spectacular fights after last week’s monster pay-per-view. With the several finishes and a five-round war to end the event, fight fans surely turned off their televisions satisfied. After a great night of action in the Apex Center, four fighters walked away with $50,000 bonuses – see who below.

Matt Brown – Performance of the Night

Matt Brown tied three other fighters, including Anderson Silva, for most KO/TKO wins in UFC history with a second-round finish of Dhiego Lima. With a straight right that landed squarely on Lima’s face, the performance was Brown’s eleventh KO/TKO finish in 42 professional fights. Brown, 40, came into the event on a two-fight skid, so he desperately sought a win. Not only did he get it, but it earned him his seventh UFC bonus in the process. Brown could have easily earned KOTN as well, but he did not since that bonus went to Choi.

Marlon Vera and Davey Grant – Fight of the Night

Marlon Vera and Davey Grant put on a total war for three rounds on the UFC Vegas 29 main card. In a highly contested fight, Vera and Grant exchanged vicious leg kicks in the first round. Going into the second, both men continued to mix it up in a battle that went back and forth. As the fight had the highest strike count of the night, there was something for everyone; takedowns, submission attempts, and straight-up violence.

Seung Woo Choi- Knockout of the Night

Seung Woo Choi extended his win streak to three fights, with two wins in 2021. With a little over a minute and a half left in the round first-round, Choi secured the finish against Julian Erosa with vicious ground and pound and the UFC Vegas 29 bonus. The win earned the young fighter his first performance bonus.

Forced to the judges again in their re-run, Vera took bragging rights this time around via a 29-28, 29-27, and 30-26 unanimous decision.

It appears that Marlon Vera will have a chance to get one back from early in his UFC career. He will fight Davey Grant in a rematch scheduled for June.

The bantamweight lost the unanimous decision in his second fight in the UFC to Davey Grant at UFC Fight Night 84 in 2016. Several outlets report that he will get the rematch at a UFC Fight Night event scheduled for June 19th.  

Since their first meetup, Vera has remained active. He’s fought 13 times since and put together a 9-4 record. He’s been most successful when he has kept it out of the judges’ hands, with eight of his nine victories coming by knockout or submission. Most notably, he holds a TKO victory over rising star Sean O’Malley. In his last outing, he lost a decision to former featherweight king Jose Aldo. Many anticipated a rematch with O’Malley, but Vera has shared that O’Malley declined the fight.

For his part, Grant has been less active. Since his first meeting with Vera, he’s had five appearances in the octagon and amassed a 3-2 record. He is currently on a three-win fight streak with two back-to-back finishes. Recently, he earned a knockout victory and Performance of the Night honors against Jonathan Martinez at UFC Fight Night 187.

The full card for this event is not yet available. But, it’s rumored that the card will also feature Dan Ige versus ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chang Sung Jung as the main event.

Bantamweight Manny Bermudez may not be a household name, but he should be well on his way to becoming one (at least in an MMA sense) after picking up another highlight reel submission at today’s (Sun., July 22, 2018) UFC Fight Night 134 from the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany.

Bermudez extended his unbeaten record to 13-0 and 2-0 in the UFC with an impressive win over former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) finalist Davey Grant in Germany, dropping the British grappler with a huge right hand before chaining together a sequence of attempts ending in a triangle choke that forced his opponent to go unconscious.

Watch the insane stoppage from the undefeated Bermudez here:
