UFC Fight Night 208 took place in the UK on Saturday afternoon in the U.S. While there were no stellar Fight of the Night the two most popular fighters came away with $50K Performance Bonuses.
Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann earned $50K bonuses for their respective stoppages. Pimblett earned a bonus with his rear naked choke victory over Jordan Leavitt in the second round. McCann had little problems with her opponent, Hannah Goldy as a spinning back elbow ended the night for the American in the very first round. It was McCann’s third straight bonus.
The other bonus winners went to Jonathan Pearce and Nikita Krylov. Pearce earned his $50K with a second round stoppage of Markwan Armikhani. Krylov put away former Light Heavyweight contender Alexander Gustaffson in the first round.
The O2 Arena in London was a sellout as reported by the UFC post-fight with a gate of $4,320,679 USD and 17,813 in attendance (h/t Jed I. Goodman)
