UFC 221 went down tonight (Saturday, February 10, 2018) from the Perth Arena in Perth, Australia, and was headlined by an interim middleweight title battle between Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero.

Romero would win by his trademark third-round TKO, but missing weight cost him the interim middleweight title and a bonus. Instead, Performance of the Night bonuses went to kickboxing newcomer Israel Adesanya and Jussier Formiga.

Adesanya took care of business against Rob Wilkinson. The former Glory kickboxer had to endure a tough first round in which Wilkinson pressed his wrestling advantage as much as he could. But he tired himself out in the process and failed to slow down “The Stylebender”. Adesanya went to work breaking Wilkinson down in round two with a barrage of close quarters strikes that eventually halted the contest. Adesanya will go home $50,000 richer for his efforts.

In the opening FS1 prelim of the evening, perennial contender Formiga turned back yet another promising flyweight prospect in Ben Nguyen. A back-and-forth fight played out over the first ten minutes that saw Nguyen enjoy success on the feet and Formiga have his moments on the mat. Formiga permanently turned the tide in round three when he floored Nguyen with a spinning back fist. The Brazilian jumped on the dazed Nguyen and cinched the rear-naked choke finish moments later. Formiga will take home an extra $50K for his efforts.

The Fight of the Night played out between Australian prospect Jake Matthews and action fighter extraordinaire Jingliang Li. The fight was marred by seemingly blatant first-round eye-gouge from Li as he tried to fend off a guillotine from Matthews. The referee failed to notice it and allowed the action to continue. Matthews scored with power punches and takedowns on the defensively suspect but ever-dangerous Li throughout their encounter and wound up on the right side of a unanimous decision. Both welterweights will wake up $50,000 richer for their efforts.

Li Jingliang Says Running Into The Crowd at UFC Shanghai Wasn’t Planned

UFC Shanghai Bonuses: Gastelum, Jingliang Earn Extra $50,000

UFC Fight Night 122 emanated today (Saturday, November 25, 2017) from the Mercedes Benz Arena in Shanghai, China. The UFC Fight Pass show was headlined by a middleweight showdown between former title-holder and late replacement Michael Bisping and up-and-coming finisher Kelvin Gastelum. Gastelum took care of business in emphatic and devastating fashion, knocking Bisping senseless […]

Gastelum took care of business in emphatic and devastating fashion, knocking Bisping senseless with a left hook in the very first round. Gastelum was one of four men to pocket an extra $50,000 for their Performance of the Night efforts.

Co-headliner Li Jingliang also took home a bonus check for his first-round knockout of Zak Ottow in his home country. This time, it was a right hand through the guard that dropped the loser, and Jingliang swarmed with relentless ground and pound until the referee had seen enough. “The Leech” had the feel-good moment of the night as he ran into the crowd to kiss his wife and infant daughter, and he’ll go home $50k richer as well.

In the featured prelim and perhaps the most highly anticipated bout of the night, Zabit Magomedsharipov confirmed himself as more than a flashy kicker, but a bonafide blue-chip prospect. He ran a clinic on the tough and talented Sheymon Moraes, making his debut as the biggest underdog on the card. Magomedsharipov largely negated Moraes’ dangerous Muay Thai striking, taking him down at will and running a grappling clinic. Seemingly on a whim, the Dagestani finished Moraes with an anaconda choke in the third round. He, too, will have an extra $50,000 in his bank account come Monday morning.

Finally, 19-year-old Chinese featherweight prospect Song Yadong dominated Indian wrestler Bharat Kandare and finished him in the first round. Kandare never got in range to utilize his takedowns. Yadong pressured and landed heavy punches whenever his Indian counterpart threw. Yadong closed the show with a step-in right hand that floored his adversary, and when Kandare shot in for a desperate takedown, Yadong snatched a guillotine. The youngest fighter on the UFC roster will take home a nice payday with his $50,000 bonus check.

Kelvin Gastelum looks like he left his Thanksgiving plate on the table, and he's in a hurry to return to it #UFCShanghai pic.twitter.com/2QmzlMtLXZ

— Dave Madden (@DaveMMAdden) November 25, 2017

Odds for this fight have Bisping around a +240 underdog, Gastelum a -285 favorite.

That means the bookies think Gastelum has a better shot of beating Bisping than GSP did. #UFCShanghai

Bisping didn't bring the same intensity that we're used to into the Octagon tonight. He's usually snarling before his music kicks in.

Vicious KO. 1-2 to the jaw by Gastelum floors Bisping in one. Damn.

I have real sour taste in my mouth after that one. It's really bad that Bisping was allowed to fight so soon after the GSP fight. We need to be better than that as a sport.

— Seán Sheehan (@SeanSheehanBA) November 25, 2017

Seriously, this was absurd of them to let him fight. I don't care what "medicals" they said he passed.

He got rocked 4x vs GSP, that's brain trauma, concussions. Having him fight a power puncher 3 weeks later is negligent. https://t.co/rpOkvappSi

I don't hate that Bisping vs Machida retirement fight that Dan Hardy just suggested.

First thing Bisping does is congratulate Gastelum then thank the crowd for attending.

The man is all class.

Bisping on if he’ll be back for London: “Kelvin is a great guy. Unfortunately, it’s going to take a bigger pile of shit to get rid of me.”

Classic.

So that's two brain-scramblings in three weeks for Michael Bisping. Maybe not so great for the old long-term health and what not.
