UFC Fight Night 275 took place on Saturday in Western Australia. This time around, the event was in prime time in Perth while many in North America woke up to watch the replay.
The Fight of the Night went to Brdo Pericic and Shamil Gaziev. A matchup between heavyweights, Pericic stopped Gaziev via TKO in the second round. However, Pericic had to earn the fight as Gaziev kept coming forward no matter what Pericic threw at him.
One of the $100K Performance Bonuses went to Carlos Prates as he stopped former welterweight champion Jack Della Maddelena. Prates looks like he’s going to be a problem in the 170 lb division as he used a combination of knees and elbows to shut down JDM.
Besides Prates, Quillan Salkilld looked great on Saturday. He stopped Beneil Dariush in the co-main event. Salkilld earned his fourth $100K bonus of his career.
Marwan Rahiki earned a $25K stoppage bonus with a first round TKO over Oliver Schmid. Notably, Rahiki was picked up on just four days’ notice of the fight.
Junior Tafa earned $25K with a first round TKO of Kevin Christian. The win ended a two-fight skid for the light heavyweight.
Wes Schultz earned $25K for his third round rally to stop Ben Johnson. It was Schultz first UFC win.
Kody Steele earned a $25K stoppage bonus for a heel hook submission over DomMar Fan. The win was Steele’s first triumph in the UFC Octagon.
