| UFN 24 Bonuses UFC Fight Night 24 bonuses: Jung, Hendricks, McDonald, Figueroa get $55K awards | MMAjunkie.com Quote:
Chan Sung Jung, Johny Hendricks, Michael McDonald and Edwin Figueroa each earned record $55,000 "Fight Night" bonuses for their performances at Saturday's UFC Fight Night 24 event.
Jung got the "Submission of the Night" bonus, Hendricks the night's "Knockout of the Night" award, and Fight of the Night" honors went to McDonald and Figueroa
| I think Dana should have given the Zombie a bit extra for the sweet Twister sub. MacDonald & Figueroa as well that was a fun fight.

was a pretty stacked card for a UFN, and Id say 55k extra is pretty sweet for an awesome sub.

That was a very interesting submission. I wish we could watch more "rare" submissions more often.
Unfortunately most of the time aside of armbars, RNC, guillotine, kimura and triangles we dont see other submissions.

| There are a lot of "undisclosed" fighter bonuses behind the scenes. I've heard some of them are anywhere from an extra 50 to 100 Grand depending on how generous of a mood the bosses are in.

Great night of fights! Love me some free awesome MMA.

Subs almost seem to go through fashion trends.
One guy sees another guy using it and it sticks in the mind for his next fight.
There was that period with the whole Shamrock ankle locks and heel hooks.
Zombie looked great, really pleased for him.

All well deserved Bonuses. Especially that FOTN.
I don't think I've ever seen a card with so many 30-27's though.
Anyone else notice that:
-Phil Davis def. Antonio Nogueira via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
-Anthony Johnson def. Dan Hardy via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
-Michael McDonald def. Edwin Figueroa via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
-Aaron Simpson def. Mario Miranda via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26)
