UFC Fight Night 120 bonuses: Yeah, Dustin Poirier got his money


Filed under: News, UFC

Following his thrilling win over Anthony Pettis at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 120 event, Dustin Poirier shifted his gaze to UFC matchmakers Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard, demanding they award him a $50,000 bonus.

They listened.

Poirier and Pettis were each awarded “Fight of the Night” honors for Saturday’s event, which took place at Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Va. Their contest served as the main event of the FS1-broadcast main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, and Poirier took home a third-round TKO.

The headliners weren’t the only fighters to take home an extra check, with both Matt Brown and Rapahel Assuncao also earning an additional $50,000 in the form of “Performance of the Night” awards.

Brown (21-16 MMA, 14-10 UFC) devastated fellow veteran brawler Diego Sanchez (27-11 MMA, 16-11 UFC) in the night’s co-feature, landing a devastating elbow to score a first-round knockout. Meanwhile, Assuncao (27-11 MMA, 16-11 UFC) picked apart Matthew Lopez (10-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) for two full rounds before knocking him out in the third.
