|  UFC on Versus 1 results in 3 KOTN Bonuses
Quote:
BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Jon Jones, Junior Dos Santos, John Howard and Clay Guida each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Sunday's UFC on Versus 1 event.
For the first time ever, the organization dished out three "Knockout of the Night" awards (to Jon Jones, Junior Dos Santos and John Howard), a single "Submission of the Night" bonus (Clay Guida) and no "Fight of the Night" honors.
MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) learned of the award winners and bonus amounts at the event's post-fight press conference.
UFC on Versus 1, the first-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship event to air on Versus, took place at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colo. The night's lineup featured 11 bouts, four of which airs live on Versus.
Jones and Dos Santos' awards came in the night's two featured bouts.
Jones scored an early takedown and dominated his fight with fellow light heavyweight Brandon Vera with a vicious ground-and-pound onslaught. The end eventually came midway through the first round when Jones connected with an elbow strikes that blasted the corner of his opponent's eye socket and prompted Vera to cover up.
Dos Santos and Howard's knockouts came in more traditional fashion. Dos Santos floored fellow heavyweight Gabriel Gonzaga with a left hook and followed him to the mat with additional punches to pick up the first-round knockout. Howard, meanwhile, met late replacement Daniel Roberts on the preliminary card. After scoring a takedown, he rose to his feet and dived back into his opponent's guard with a straight left that knocked Daniels out cold. (The fight was later aired via delay on the Versus broadcast.)
Guida, meanwhile, picked up his submission award by stopping Shannon Gugerty with a second-round arm-triangle choke in the preliminary card's featured bout. The move was slick and effective, but it was also the card's only submission and earned Guida the bonus by default.

I thought Howard's was head and shoulders above the other KOs dished out. I have yet to see the Gormley knockout, must have been a mediocre one.

He broke his will with that elbow and probably even the first trip takedown within the first few seconds.
The truth is that Vera has lost his killer touch (See what I did there  )
