UFC Fight Night Bonuses: Ferguson, dos Anjos, Lamas, Silva de Andrade Receive $50K
Tony Ferguson and Rafael dos Anjos maintained a ridiculous offensive pace in the high altitude of Mexico City, and each man pocketed a well deserved $50,000 “Fight of the Night” bonus for his work in the Octagon on Saturday night.

Elsewhere, Ricardo Lamas garnered a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check for tapping out submission specialist Charles Oliveira in a featured featherweight duel. Although his opponent missed weight by nine pounds, Lamas was able to escape a pair of first-round submission attempts before finishing “Do Bronx” with a rear-naked choke at the 2:13 mark of round two.
Finally, Douglas Silva de Andrade received the evening’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for his entertaining third-round technical knockout triumph over Enrique Briones at bantamweight. The combatants traded willingly throughout the contest, but Andrade struck the decisive blows, finishing his foe with a standing elbow and spinning backfist 2:33 into the third frame.
