The UFC has announced that they will be putting a new post-fight bonus into play for all future UFC events. To those of you who are new in the MMA/UFC community, the at the end of each UFC event fighters from that are night who compete are eligible for three separate post-fight bonuses of $50,000. The three categories are Fight of the Night, Knockout of the Night and Submission of the Night.
Fight of the Night goes to the participants of the most entertaining fight from that particular event. The two fighters that put on the most exciting contest both receive the post-fight bonus. The Knockout of the Night bonus goes to the individual who delivers the best KO/TKO of the night. Like the Knockout of the Night award, Submission of the Night will go to the person who locks in the best submission of the night.
The UFC has decided to do away with the Knockout and Submission of the Night bonuses and replace them with the Performance of the Night award which will go to the individual who had the best individual performance of the night.
I think that this is certainly a great move on the UFC's part in awarding the best performance of the night. I like all fight fans like a knockout every so often, but sometimes a fighter may not score a KO or submission, but simply outclasses their opponent in such a dominant fashion that deserves recognition.
