Dan Ige earned his nickname for a motive.
The veteran featherweight, who goes by the moniker “50K,” cashed the fourth post-fight bonus of his UFC profession on Saturday for his monster first-round knockout of Andre Fili in UFC Vegas 86’s co-main occasion. Ige scored an additional $50,000 in Efficiency of the Evening earnings for his handiwork, which pushed his file to 3-1 over his previous 4 UFC bouts.
Ige headlined a gaggle of 4 Efficiency of the Evening winners, becoming a member of the likes of Rodolfo Vieira, Carlos Prates, and Bogdan Guskov, all of whom earned $50,000 bonuses.
Vieira opened the evening’s most important card with a first-round submission of Armen Petrosyan, whereas Prates and Guskov each scored highlight-reel knockouts of Trevin Giles and Zac Pauga on the undercard, respectively.
UFC Vegas 86 befell Feb. 10 on the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Middleweight veteran Jack Hermasson gutted out a come-from-behind win over Joe Pyfer within the night’s most important occasion.
