The Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded four fighters performance bonuses after the UFC on ESPN 47 card.
The main event took over the competition honors at home as the middleweight show served as an early fight for contender of the year. Jared Canonnier weathered an early storm to put in a stunning performance against Marvin Vettori, who showed a strong chin and resilience as the fight went on. Cannonier would eventually win by unanimous decision winning by scores of 49-45, 49-45 and 48-46 in his favour.
Two other fighters earned Performance of the Night bonuses with impressive knockout victories. First up was Alessandro Costa, whose brutal win over Jimmy Fleck earned him an extra $50,000. Costa delivered hard elbows to knock out his flyweight opponent in the second round. Finally, Manuel Torres gets a performance reward for the stunning knockout of Nicolás Mota. A perfectly timed elbow fell in the first round and that was all I wrote.
UFC Fight Night 223 Rewards:
Jared Canonier – $50,000
Marvin Victors – $50,000
Alessandro Costa – $50,000
Manuel Torres – $50,000
