Frank Mir and Todd Duffee SAN DIEGO – Frank Mir , Tony Ferguson , Alan Jouban and Matt Dwyer each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Wednesday night’s UFC Fight Night 71. The four fighters took home $50,000 a piece with Mir and Ferguson winning “Performance of the Night” bonuses and Jouban and Dwyer winning “Fight of the Night.” Mir (18-9 MMA, 16-9 UFC) engaged in a rollicking heavyweight slugfest with Todd Duffee (9-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in the main event of the evening. With both men swinging wildly with power punches, it was Mir who landed the crushing shot that left Duffee face down on the canvas at just 1:13 of the first round. Ferguson (19-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) picked up arguably the biggest win of his young career, roughing up – and cutting up – veteran lightweight Josh Thomson (20-8 MMA, 3-4 UFC) in the evening’s co-main event. Ferguson took the decision by scores of 30-27, 30-27 and 30-26. Jouban (12-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) was able to outlast Dwyer (8-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in a back-and-forth welterweight fight.
