UFC President Dana White announced that the fight promotion handed out eight bonuses following UFC Austin on Saturday. Every fighter that earned a stoppage received a bonus. Fight Of The Night: Rodolfo Bellato vs Ihor Potieria “This here is a fight!” exclaimed Michael Bisping as the wild, seesaw battle between Rodolfo Bellato and Ihor Potieria reached a fever-pitch in the second round. It was only the third fight of the evening, but audiences knew they were witnessing bonus-worthy performance, the only question was which of the two men would get it, as both were throwing with bad intentions and both escaping what seemed like certain doom. In the end, it was the heart of Dana White Contender Series alumni Bellato that won the day with a relentless ground and pound TKO, but both fighters were nothing short of valiant in an easy pick for fight of the night honors.
