BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Olivier Aubin-Mercier , Chris Gruetzemacher , Zabit Magomedsharipov and Kyle Bochniak each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday’s UFC 223 event. Magomedsharipov and Bochniak earned the “Fight of the Night,” while Aubin-Mercier and Gruetzemacher each won “Performance of the Night” honors. UFC President Dana White announced the winners at the post-fight news conference, which MMAjunkie attended. Aubin-Mercier (11-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) needed just 53 seconds to take out Evan Dunham (18-7-1 MMA, 11-7-1 UFC) in their lightweight fight on the preliminary card. Dunham started quickly with solid strikes, but not long after Aubin-Mercier landed a big knee, and another put Dunham on the mat after a few punches.
