UFC 258 took place on Saturday night at the Apex in Las Vegas where Kamaru Usman retained his welterweight title. For his stoppage of Gilbert Burns, he earned one of the Performances of the Night.
Also receiving bonuses were Anthony Hernandez, Julian Marquez and Polyana Viana.
Perhaps, the most unlikely of outcomes, Hernandez earned a first-round submission over multi-time ADCC grappling champion Rodolfo Vieira in the first round. Marquez earned a submission win via anaconda choke in the third round. The Cuban Missile Crisis then called out Miley Cyrus to be his Valentine in the post-fight interview. Finally, Viana used an armbar to submit Mallory Martin.
Payout Perspective:
Usman showed he is one of the best in the sport with a dominating performance after being rocked in the first minute of the first round by Burns. Hernandez likely pulled off the biggest upset of the night with the submission over a world champion grappler.
