UFC 104: “Machida vs. Shogun” from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif., has officially wrapped, which means that it’s time for those select fighters who went above and beyond in their respective fights to get a little extra grease for their efforts.
To the tune of $60,000 each.
The promotion dished out its standard post-fight monetary bonuses to four out of the 22 fighters on the card. And one fighter left “The Golden State” with a double dose of green.
In addition to their base salaries, the UFC awarded undercard standouts Pat Barry and Antoni Hardonk “Fight of the Night” for their hard hitting, back-and-forth war that was short on rounds but long on excitement.
Not only did Barry “Get Hype,” he also got cash, as the short but powerful kickboxer scored “Knockout of the Night” with his lights-out finish over Hardonk in the second frame.
Despite his TKO destruction of Yoshiyuki “Zenko” Yoshida, Anthony “Rumble” Johnson was not eligible for a post-fight bonus as a result of missing weight during Friday’s weigh-ins.
Also bringing home the proverbial bacon was Stefan Struve, who locked up Chase Gormley in the “Skyscraper” Triangle from which there was no escape, earning a tap and a cool 60 G’s for “Submission of the Night.”
Here are the special fight bonuses for UFC 104:
Fight of the Night — Pat Barry vs. Antoni Hardonk
Knockout of the Night — Pat Barry
Submission of the Night — Stefan Struve
Again, each fighter received $60,000 extra for their performances in addition to their respective base salaries, which we will pass along as soon as possible.
