Fight of the Night + Performance of the Night in one

[legatoblues]

The ultimate payday for a fighter and an absolute treat for the fans.

Anytime this happens you know it's a fight worth watching.
Likely back and forth wars with the one fighter pulling out an amazing showing to get the win.

Matt Brown v Erick Silva
Justin Gaethje v Michael Johnson
Justin Gaethje v Tony Ferguson
Tony Ferguson v Edson Barboza
Charles Oliveira v Nik Lentz 2

What others are there?

if dustin hasn’t done that, i’d be surprised

 

[VinceArch]

In his last fight Chris Lytle got FOTN and SOTN bonuses.

Nope, 12 bonuses but never got 2 on the same night https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Poirier.

Anderson Silva obviously received KOTN honors for entering the Matrix against Forrest, but the victory was such a buzzworthy spectacle that the UFC also gave the fight FOTN, despite the one-sided nature of the loss

Nice for Forrest, a little something to soften the embarrassment lol

Yeah it's doesn't show up as often as you might thing.

Obviously being on a weaker card could skew things, but I thought it was still worth looking up.
Some of those fights are real bangers. I don't remember Oliveira v Lentz 2 but all of the others I listed are great.

Theres currently only been 1 this year and thats for Jiri with the Reyes fight (Technically Gregor Gillespie got a double bonus but only because his opponent missed weight)

Good pickup on Jiri.

And interesting to note there's only been 1 so far this year.
Have you got an easy way to look this up? (Other than just browsing through wiki?)
Would love to see year on year info.

Thanks for mentioning - I'd definitely consider the old SOTN / KOTN as being the same as POTN for the purpose of this thread.

 

[Linelo]

Cerrone/Guillard lasted just over a minute and got FOTN and KOTN

Did Lewis v Francis do this?

Great fight.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Maybe Yair vs KZ?

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Pat Healy got fight of the night and submission of the night against Jim Miller, each was $65,000.


then lost it all because he tested positive for weed.

holy shit i remember that. weren’t people petitioning for dana to give him his bonuses?

If they did it didn't work. Dude lost 130k, got suspended for I forget how long, and then lost 4 in a row and got cut.

all because he didn't:

Maybe Yair vs KZ?

It was indeed.

Chris Lytle was awesome. Never a contender but I got excited every time he was slated to fight
Very scrappy skilled banger who showed up to fight every time. Also seemed like a cool level headed dude

Man I don't remember the Oliveira/Lentz 2 fight, I'll have to go back and watch it. Thanks for the suggestion, good thread. I might have to go back and watch all of those actually, except for Gaethje/Ferguson. That one still makes me feel head trauma just thinking about it
