Here are the bonuses:
There is some confusion about the Submission of the night bonus, which may have gone to Jim Miller, or may have gone to Marcus Davis. Miller was announced on the official broadcast as gaining the honor, but there have been reports of Davis being awarded it instead. We will clarify this as soon as we can.

The knock out of the night went to Luiz Arthur Cane for his second round TKO of Rameau Thierry Sokodjou.

Fight of the night honors were awarded to Chris Lytle and Paul Taylor, who fought to a split decision in a very exciting slug fest, with Lylte being awarded the win. Both fighters recieved the bonus for this honor.

All bonuses were worth $40,000.
