The Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded four fighters performance bonuses on the UFC Fight Night 205 card.
Former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade took home an extra $50,000 thanks to her historic standing arm-triangle choke. "Bate Estaca" needed just 3:13 to force Amanda Lemos to submit in the main event. Her victory wound up being the first-ever standing arm-triangle choke inside the Octagon.
The other performance of the night bonus went to co-main event winner and lightweight standout Claudio Puelles. The "Prince of Peru" managed to pick up a slick kneebar submission over UFC mainstay Clay Guida just 3:01 into Round 1. The Peruvian fighter has now won five straight fights inside the promotion.
Finally, fight of the night honors went to Dwight Grant and Sergey Khandozhko. The two welterweights had a back-and-forth battle that saw both fighters rock each other with punches. Eventually, it'd be the Russian that outlast Grant as the featured prelim fight came to a violent end during Round 2 after landing a brutal left hook and following up with a series of punches.
