UFC’s streak of delivering pay-per-views to rave reviews ended with UFC 118, but that did not mean some fighters did not stand out on the live show.
Company president Dana White confirmed at the post-show press conference that Nate Diaz, Marcus Davis and Joe Lauzon each walked away with $60,000 fight night bonuses.
Diaz and Davis both won for their ‘fight of the night,’ while Lauzon took home “submission of the night” for his quick victory over Gabe Ruediger.
As there was no fight to end in knockout or technical knockout, no knockout of the night bonus was awarded.
