UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden saw perhaps the most accomplished Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight of all-time, Stipe Miocic, take on arguably the greatest mixed martial artist of ever and reigning heavyweight king, Jon Jones. And just like old times, Jones took home extra money as he was rewarded $50,000 for “Performance of the Night.”
For a solid performance that saw him dominate four rounds out of five, former lightweight ace Charles Oliveira set a record for his 20th post-fight bonus, getting awarded “Fight of the Night” honors. Following four rounds of total domination, Oliveira was able to hold off a late rally from Chandler in the final frame and may have secured another opportunity at the UFC lightweight title fight in 2025.
Earlier on the card, Ramiz Brahimaj faced former highly-regarded prospect Mickey Gall, but Brahimaj made quick work of the fellow New Yorker. It took less than three minutes of the first round for Brahimaj, from the Bronx, put away his opponent and handed him his fourth consecutive loss and picked up the first bonus of his UFC tenure with an “Performance of the Night” award.
Oban Elliott, a Welch fighter who put on an incredible performance in his third fight under the UFC banner, also claimed a “Performance of the Night” bonus for knocking out Bassill Hafez in the final round of their welterweight tilt.
