UFC News: Couture, Marquardt Among Bonus Winners

At the beginning of Saturday’s UFC 102 press conference, UFC President Dana White announced the “fight night” bonuses.

Nathan Marquardt’s dramatic one-punch knockout of rival Middleweight contender Demian Maia earned him the KO bonus, while Jake Rosholt’s arm triangle victory over Chris Leben garnered him the submission of the night award.

The classic Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira main event earned the fight of the night prize.

All bonus winners earned an additional $60,000 payout.
