Drew Dober’s knockout power ultimately won out against Bobby Green’s superior volume at UFC Fight Night 216, but both men received a little extra compensation for their work.

Dober and Green earned “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for their entertaining lightweight clash at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Green ran out to an early lead, as he kept his opponent off balance with punching combinations in Round 1, but Dober struck the decisive blow when he knocked out “King” with a left hook and one follow-up punch at the 2:45 mark of the second stanza.

Elsewhere, Alex Caceres garnered a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award thanks to a nearly picture-perfect finish of Julian Erosa in a featured featherweight encounter. “Bruce Leeroy” dropped his foe with a head kick that was expertly hidden behind a left hand before sealing his victory with follow-up punches on the mat at the 3:04 mark of Round 1.

Finally, Michal Oleksiejczuk captured the evening’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check thanks to an emphatic finish of Cody Brundage in a middleweight clash. The Pole reversed into top position after being taken down, and an ensuing barrage of vicious ground-and-pound rendered Brundage unconscious 3:16 into Round 1.
