The
Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded five fighters
performance bonuses on the
UFC on ESPN 44 card.

The bonus for fight of the night went to Bill Algeo
and T.J.
Brown. The two had a back-and-forth war that eventually ended
after Algeo rocked Brown with a short elbow and then
sank in a rear-naked choke for the submission win in the second
round. Algeo has now won three of his last four fights inside
the Octagon.

Meanwhile, three fighters received individual performance bonuses.
A mainstay of such bonuses, Edson
Barboza once again dazzled with a perfect knee KO of Billy
Quarantillo for an extra $50,000. Additionally, flyweight
contender Brandon
Royval picked up an extra 50 grand for his
annihilation of Matheus
Nicolau,
which saw him land a knee and then follow up with a series of
punches. Finally, Gillian
Robertson‘s controversial submission win earned her an award

despite the tap being disputed.
