UFC 282 Bonuses: 11 Fighters Receive $50,000 Checks

The UFC was in a giving mood on Saturday night.

The Las Vegas-based promotion handed out a grand total of 11 bonuses following a UFC 282 card that saw finishes in all but the evening’s final two bouts.

Dricus Du Plessis and Darren Till received “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece following their back-and-forth middleweight clash on the main card. Du Plessis dominated Round 1 before Till staged a brief rally in the second stanza. Ultimately, “Stillknocks” recovered and submitted his English foe with a face crank at the 2:43 mark of Round 3.

Meanwhile, the other nine competitors on the card who authored a finish — Cameron Saaiman, T.J. Brown, Billy Quarantillo, Chris Curtis, Edmen Shahbazyan, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Raul Rosas Jr., Ilia Topuria and Santiago Ponzinibbio — all received a $50,00 “Performance of the Night” check.
