4 fighters walked away with $50,000 bonuses in an evening crammed
with finishes at
UFC on ESPN 62 on Saturday.
Veteran middleweight contender Jared
Cannonier and up-and-coming Brazilian Caio
Borralho (17-1) delivered as marketed within the UFC Vegas 96
headliner at The Apex in Las Vegas. Whereas Borralho took the lead in
the primary spherical, Cannonier regained some momentum because the combat
progressed. Each fighters rocked one another, going toe-to-toe in a
barnburner that had many on-line scorecards tied at two rounds every
means going into Spherical 5. Borralho knocked down Cannonier (17-8) a
remaining time within the final stanza to seal a unanimous resolution victory.
Each fighters had been awarded $50,000 for his or her “Battle of the Evening”
efficiency.
In the meantime, middleweight veteran Gerald
Meerschaert (37-17) acquired a “Efficiency of the Evening” bonus
for his come-from-behind upset of Edmen
Shahbazyan (13-5). “GM 3” was dominated by Shahbazyan for the
higher a part of two rounds earlier than he turned the tables by forcing a
faucet with an arm triangle with lower than a minute left within the second
interval.
Undefeated welterweight prospect Michael
Morales (17-0) walked by means of divisional gatekeeper Neil Magny
(29-12) to earn the opposite POTN bonus. The second largest betting
favourite on the cardboard, Moraes knocked Magny down with a brutal elbow
and rained devastating ground-and-pound to safe a stoppage within the
remaining seconds of the opening body.
