UFC Fight Night 207 Bonuses: Almeida, Trizano Receive ‘Fight of the Night’ Honors

Lucas Almeida and Michael Trizano engaged in a back-and-forth battle at UFC Fight Night 207, and now both featherweights are $50,000 richer for their efforts.

Almeida and Trizano received “Fight of the Night” honors for their slugfest, which featured a combined three knockdowns between the two combatants. Trizano struck the first blow in Round 1, when he blasted his foe with a knee and followed him to the canvas. Almeida survived until the horn and rallied to drop Trizano once apiece in Rounds 2 and 3. The second occasion — when he slipped a punch and dropped Trizano with a left hook — set the stage for a stoppage 55 seconds into the final stanza.

Elsewhere, Karine Silva pocketed a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check in her promotional debut thanks to a first-round submission of Poliana Botelho in a featured flyweight encounter. Silva rocked Botelho with an overhand right, powered her foe to the canvas and then transitioned to a brabo choke — forcing the tapout at the 4:55 mark of Round 1.

Finally, Ode Osbourne earned the card’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus by virtue of a technical knockout of Zarrukh Adashev in a 125-pound matchup. Osbourne dropped his foe with a counter right hook to the chin and sealed his victory with follow-up punches and hammerfists 61 seconds into the opening stanza.
