Following Saturday’s UFC 277 event at American Airlines Center in Dallas, UFC president Dana White announced the recipients of the performance-based bonuses. Fight Of The Night: Brandon Moreno vs Kai Kara-France A rematch nearly three years in the making concluded with Mexico’s Brandon Moreno claiming his spot as the interim UFC flyweight champion following a third-round finish over Kai Kara-France of New Zealand. After a back-and-forth first round, Moreno did solid work of evading Kara-France’s pressure and right hand to advance to an exciting third round. In the third, Moreno was cut under his eye by the Kiwi following a sweep and short sequence of heavy ground-and-pound strikes, but it didn’t stop him from landing a perfect kick flush to the liver, dropping Kara-France before finishing him off with strikes from the top before referee Herb Dean stepped in with just 26 seconds to go in the third round.
