UFC on ESPN+ 12 bonuses: Quick finishes bring big rewards for Rozenstruik, ‘The Korean Zombie’

Chan Sung Jung, Jair Rozenstruik, Deron Winn and Eric Spicely each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 12 event.

Jung and Rozenstruik each earned “Performance of the Night” honors, while Winn and Spicely shared in “Fight of the Night” honors. UFC officials announced the winners following the event, which took place at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C.

The night’s main card streamed live on ESPN+ following prelims on ESPN.

Jung (15-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC), better known as “The Korean Zombie” bounced back from a recent defeat in scintillating fashion, slipping a shot from Renato Moicano and delivering a huge right hand that sent his opponent crashing to the canvas. Moicano did his best to recover, but Jung was relentless in his attacks and was able to secure the finish just 58 seconds after the headlining contest began.

Undefated heavyweight Rozenstruik (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) didn’t even need that long, dropping Allen Crowder with the first short punch he threw and then following up with a big shot on the floor to end the fight in just eight seconds, the second-fastest finish in UFC heavyweight history.

Meanwhile, Winn (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Spicely (12-5, 2-5 UFC) kicked the night’s card off with a bang, standing and trading for the entirety of their 15-minute affair. Spicely, who stepped in on less than one week’s notice, showed heart from start to finish, but Winn’s relentless pressure saw him take a clearcut decision win, 29-28 on all three cards.
