The Ultimate Fighting Championship stayed home for UFC Fight Night 200, where three competitors pocketed some serious bonus money on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Julian Erosa doubled dipped, as “Juicy J” was awarded $100,000 for his “Fight of the Night” with Steven Peterson. The two tore into each other for three rounds, with Erosa walking away as a split decision winner. Peterson was ineligible for his share of the bonus money—it went to his counterpart instead—due to his failure to make weight for the match.

Meanwhile, Shavkat Rakhmonov nabbed a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for his vicious knockout of Carlston Harris in their showcase affair at 170 pounds. Rakhmonov knocked the Renovacao Fight Team member to the canvas with a spinning hook kick, then finished him off with a series of lethal right hands.

Finally, middleweight Chidi Njokuani took home the other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus after he shellacked Marc-Andre Barriault in just 16 seconds. The Bellator MMA veteran unloaded with a sizzling punching combination that floored Barriault where he stood. Njokuani closed it out moments later, authoring the second-fastest finish in history for a fighter making a UFC debut.
