UFC 84 Fight Bonuses


It is common knowledge amongst fans that the UFC awards fight bonuses to four fighters that performed exceptionally well at an event. Here are the awards from UFC 84 for Fight of the Night, Submission of the Night and KO of the night:

Goran Reljic and Wilson Gouveia received $75,000 each for Fight of the Night. The fight was fast and furious from start to finish, with both fighters looking as though they were close to ending it on more than one occasion. In the end it was Reljic who caught Gouveia sending him crashing to the mat, and proceeded to rain down punches and hammer fists until the fight was stopped.

Wanderlei Silva received $75,000 for his knock out of Keith Jardine. The fight was over in 36 seconds and was fast and furious from start to finish. Silva hit Jardine and dropped him with a punch and proceeded to ground and pound him until the fight was stopped. Jardine was unconscious on the mat for a few minutes but was able to walk out under his own steam in the end.

Submission of the Night was given to Rousimar Palhares for his very slick arm bar. Ivan Salaverry did a great job of defending multiple rear naked choke attempts before Palhares transitioned into a perfectly executed arm bar.

Fighter purses have not yet been released for the event, but we will let you know as soon as they are.
