The bonuses went to Jack Della Maddelena for his submission victory over Randy Brown, Yair Rodriguez for his triangle submission to win the interim Featherweight title against Josh Emmert. Also, Fight of the Night was Islam Makachev versus Alexander Volkanovski. All earned $50K bonuses.
Payout Perspective:
The Perth crowd was wild for a Sunday morning event. The atmosphere during the Islam-Volk fight was off the charts as they tried to will the Featherweight Champ to a victory. Western Australia should be an annual stop for the promotion each year.
