After a historic UFC Belgrade card that featured 12 finishes, four fighters earned an extra $100,000 for their standout performances.
Given the rapid finishes, it’s no surprise that the Ultimate Fighting Championship opted against giving out a fight of the night distinction. Instead, four performance of the night bonuses were awarded, including one to main event winner Uros Medic. “The Doctor” impressed with a 30-second knockout of Daniel Rodriguez, who was completely outmatched by the 33-year-old striker.
Co-main event winner Navajo Stirling also received a performance of the night bonus for smashing former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz in under three minutes. It’s the biggest win in the career of Stirling, who is now 11-0. Big fights are up next for the City Kickboxing product, who also holds key wins over Ion Cutelaba, Bruno Lopes and Rodolfo Bellato.
Finally, the last two bonuses went to Nina Nikolija Milosevic and Gilbert Urbina. Milosevic (9-1) retired Hailey Cowan with body punches in front of her home country. Meanwhile, Urbina (8-4) needed just 61 seconds to finish Vlastislav Cepo with elbows and punches in what was a hellacious flurry. Additionally, all other finishes on the card received a $25,000 bonus.
