UFC Vegas 124 took place Saturday at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. The event issued fight night bonuses including the main event.
The Fight of the Night went to the main event of Johnny Walker and Waldo Cortes-Acosta. Cortes-Acosta had control of the fight early on but Walker’s use of the spinning backfist worked. An exchange which ended in a Walker backfist stunned WCA and caused a backpedal. Walker followed up with a punch that floored WCA causing the stoppage. Each will receive $100K.
A Performance Bonus went to Elijah Smith with a first round KO of Daevy Grant. 4-0 in the UFC, it was a great fight for Smith since he is now a free agent. Smith will go home with $100K.
Thomas Petersen earned a Performance Bonus with a third round TKO of Gabriel Lorenco in a heavyweight bout.
The $25K stoppage bonuses went to Austin Bashi, Andre Petroski and Jose Souza.
