UFC 124 Fans Call GSP vs. Koscheck Fight of Night, Mac Danzig Gets KO Bonus

In a voting decision that UFC President Dana White said meant the fans “blew their chance” at voting on future Fight Night bonuses, UFC 124 viewers crowned Josh Koscheck vs. Georges St. Pierre the fight of the night.

Advertisement during the show declared that the two would win $100,000 in bonus money for the award, although that was not formally reiterated during the post-UFC 124 press conference.

UFC President Dana White also implied that Matt Riddle and Sean Pierson, who competed in his personal pick for Fight of the Night, would be rewarded for their performances.

Elsewhere, Mac Danzig scored a $100,000 best knockout bonus for his one-punch finish of Joe Stevenson, while Jim Miller and Mark Bocek each received $50,000 as co-winners of “Submission of the Night.”
