Elsewhere, Khabib Nurmagomedov received a “Performance of the Night” bonus for a dominant decision victory over fellow lightweight contender Edson Barboza in the evening’s co-main event. While Barboza was a game foe, he was simply overwhelmed by the pressure and grappling prowess of “The Eagle,” who won via scorecards of 30-25, 30-25 and 30-24.
Finally, Tim Elliott garnered a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for a submission of Mark Delarosa in a preliminary bantamweight contest. Elliott controlled scrambles throughout the fight, and he ended the bout with an anaconda choke 1:41 into round two.
