After the UFC Vegas 123 event, the world’s leading MMA promotion announced which fighters won the post-fight bonuses.
UFC Vegas 123 took place on Saturday, October 31 at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Check out all the card bonus winners below.
Performance of the evening ($100,000 to the fighter): Tom Nolan
In the main event, Tom Nolan won against Renato Moicano via third-round TKO in a fight marred by a sketchy referee in the second round. Regardless, Nolan earned the knockout victory, his sixth straight UFC win and one that should earn him another top-10 ranked opponent in his next fight.
Performance of the evening ($100,000 to the fighter): Julian Erosa
At featherweight, Julian Erosa knocked out JeongYeong Lee in the first round of his UFC retirement fight. After being hurt early on, Erosa managed to stay calm and came back to brutally knock out Lee to walk away from the UFC with a 10-9 record inside the Octagon.
Performance of the evening ($100,000 to the fighter): Joe Kropschot
In a middleweight bout, Joe Kropschot submitted Nick Klein via a triangle armbar submission in the second round to win his UFC debut. This was a tremendous performance from Kropschot, who was making his promotional debut after landing a contract with a win on Dana White’s Contender Series this summer.
Performance of the evening ($100,000 to the fighter): Lucia Szabova
In the opening preliminary card bout, Lucia Szabova defeated Tainara Lisboa via third-round TKO with heavy ground and pound. Szabova mostly dominated this fight with her grappling and ultimately finished with a nasty third-round TKO after a barrage of unanswered ground strikes.
Finishing bonus ($25,000 to each fighter): Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani, Rodrigo Sezinando
In a welterweight fight that kicked off the main card, Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani destroyed Farman Hasanov’s face so much that the doctor was forced to step in and stop the fight in the third round due to a TKO. It was another stellar performance from Lebosnoyani, who looks like a top 15 guy.
In a welterweight fight, Rodrigo Sezinando defeated Theodor Berggren via second-round TKO due to a nasty cut that opened his opponent’s lip. Sezinando’s punches and jabs were deadly, and the cage doctor was forced to stop the fight due to an absolutely brutal cut.
