Following Saturday’s UFC 285 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, UFC president Dana White announced the recipients of the performance-based bonuses. For the first time since implementing the bonus system, a fighter was awarded a bonus after missing weight. Fight Of The Night: Geoff Neal vs Shavkat Rakhmonov These two welterweight contenders did not disappoint. Geoff Neal and Shavkat Rakhmonov laid it all on the line for almost 15 full-minutes before Rakhmonov secured a standing rear naked choke forcing Neal to tap. Prior to that jaw dropping moment, both men had big moments on the feet, but it was mainly Rakhmonov deploying a wide variety of strikes leading the dance. Neal never backed down though, connecting with his own power shots that put Rakhmonov in trouble
