UFC Vegas 19 Bonuses: Derrick Lewis Tops List Of $50K Winners
UFC Vegas 19 had stiff competition in the bonus categories. The card emphatically delivered with eight of the 12 fights ending by stoppage. Unfortunately, not everyone could get bonuses. The UFC opted to scrap ‘Fight of the Night’ for this card and instead hand out four ‘Performance of the Night’ prizes.
The first bonus obviously went to Derrick Lewis who topped off the card with a spectacular knockout against Curtis Blaydes. ‘The Black Beast’ started and lost the opening round. That didn’t matter though as in round two ‘Razor’ dipped in for a takedown attempt which left him vulnerable to a mammoth uppercut that turned out his lights. Lewis followed up with some nasty ground and pound before the referee waved off the fight and secured Lewis the $50,000 bonus cheque.
