In addition to walking away from UFC 150 with a highlight-reel knockout, “Cowboy” Donald Cerrone will leave Denver, Colorado more than $100,000 richer.
UFC President Dana White confirmed that Cerrone received two “fight night” bonuses for his performance at UFC 150. The well-ranked former WEC standout’s dramatic knockout win over Melvin Guillard scored bonus money for “fight of the night” and “knockout of the night,” putting $120,000 ($60,000 per bonus) in his pocket.
Guillard also claimed $60,000 in bonus money for that “fight of the night” prize.
Dennis Bermudez, meanwhile, earned the bonus money for his “submission of the night” victory over Tommy Hayden.
