UFC 87 Locker Room Bonuses

In the aftermath of Saturday's UFC 87 event, the UFC have issued the names of the fighters who received the locker room bonuses.

Fight of the night deservedly went to Jon Fitch and Georges St. Pierre for their five round war. Whilst GSP dominated every round of the fight, credit must go to Fitch for his amazing ability to compose himself and continue to pose a challenge until the very end.

KO of the night went to Rob Emerson for his stunning 12 second knock out over Manvel Gambuyan, who was tipped as heavy favourite for this fight.

Demian Maia received submission of the night for his rear naked choke victory over Jason MacDonald.

All bonuses are reported to have been $60,000 and come on top of their standard fight wages. The figures for their contracted payroll will be reported in the next few days.
