UFC Fight Night 232 Bonuses: Allen, Ribas, Brito, Saragih Earn $50K Awards
Brendan Allen closed the show at UFC Fight Night 232 in style, and he received a little extra spending money for his work in the Octagon.
Allen received one of four $50,000 “Performance of the Night” awards handed out by the promotion on Saturday for his third-round submission of Paul Craig in Saturday’s middleweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. “All In” forced his Scottish foe to tap to a rear-naked choke 38 seconds into Round 3 for his sixth straight victory.
Elsewhere, Amanda Ribas garnred $50,000 for a successful return to the strawweight division. After a slow start against Luana Pinheiro, Ribas rallied to put her foe away with a spinning wheel kick and follow-up punches at the 3:53 mark of Round 3.
Joanderson Brito struggled early against the positional control of Jonathan Pearce in their preliminary featherweight scrap, but the Brazilian turned the tables on his opponent when he forced a tapout with a ninja choke 3:54 into the second period. That effort also received a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus.
Finally, Jeka Saragih captured the evening’s final $50,000 check by making short work of Lucas Alexander in a catchweight matchup. A right hook from the “Road to UFC” finalist dropped Alexander, and Saragih sealed his victory with follow-up punches 1:31 into Round 1.
