UFC 130: "Rampage vs. Hamill" from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, has officially wrapped, which means it's time for those select fighters who went above and beyond in their respective fights to get a little extra grease for their efforts.
To the tune of $70,000 each.
The promotion dished out its standard post-fight monetary bonuses to four out of the 20 fighters on the card, and it's probably no surprise who's leaving "Sin City" with a second sack of simoleons.
Superman can leap tall buildings in a single bound. And his punch can raze tall "Skyscrapers" in a single round. Travis Browne won "Knockout of the Night" for his straightforward punch named after the man of steel that knocked Stefan Struve clear into the phantom zone.
The Hawaiian heavyweight remains undefeated and has officially put the 265-pound division on notice.
Gleison Tibau scored "Submission of the Night" pretty much by default, since his second round strangulation of Rafaello Oliveira was the only tap, nap or snap to make an appearance at the MGM Grand.
The bulky Brazilian lightweight has now won two straight. Has he finally found his groove in the UFC's stacked 155-pound weight class?
Only a complete (Nostra) dumbass would have picked against Brian Stann during a Memorial Day Weekend event. The hard-hitting war hero completed his shock and awe campaign against Jorge Santiago by detonating his 5oz bombs on the former Sengoku champ's chin.
Both men battled hard enough to earn "Fight of the Night" and a MOLLE full of cash.
Here are the special fight bonuses for UFC 130:
Fight of the Night -- Brian Stann vs. Jorge SantiagoAgain, each fighter received $70,000 extra for their performances in addition to their respective base salaries
Submission of the Night -- Gleison Tibau
Knockout of the Night -- Travis Browne
