UFC on ESPN 72<\/a>, four fighters picked up an extra $50,000 for their performances at the UFC Apex. Check out the winners below.\u00a0<\/p>\nPerformance of the Night: Joselyne Edwards<\/p>\n
The first eight fights in Joselyne Edwards\u2019 UFC career were decisions. Lately, she\u2019s a different fighter. Edwards (16-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) picked up her third straight stoppage win when she took out Priscila Cachoeira (13-7 MMA, 5-7 UFC) with a brutal knockout combination. Cachoeira had been keeping her hands down and Edwards made her pay in a big way for the first bonus of her career.<\/p>\n
Performance of the Night: Elijah Smith<\/p>\n
Elijah Smith (9-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) delivered one of the scariest knockouts in recent memory when he slammed Toshiomi Kazama (11-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) onto the back of his head and neck in the first round on the prelims. Kazama was holding on to a choke, and Smith slammed his way out and right into a devastating win. Kazama was out for a while and had to be transported to a hospital, where he eventually was given the all clear.<\/p>\n
Performance of the Night: Christian Leroy Duncan<\/p>\n
Christian Leroy Duncan (12-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) had a couple early issues against Eryk Anders (17-9 MMA, 9-9 UFC) when he caught him in the eye, then hit him with a low blow. But after he settled down, Duncan went to work putting Anders away with a feverish assault.<\/p>\n
Performance of the Night: Anthony Hernandez<\/p>\n
Anthony Hernandez (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) made Roman Dolidze (15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) look positively outclassed in the middleweight main event. \u201cFluffy\u201d at times seemed to be able to ragdoll Dolidze around the cage, particularly at the end when he had a standing rear-naked choke \u2013\u00a0and started dragging Dolidze with it while he quickly got the tap. Hernandez said he wants a title shot next, or at minimum a \u201cBMF\u201d title fight at 185 pounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday’s card in Las Vegas, including one to a headliner who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[76,49,48,1161,3049,641,2561,1458,1483,4225,1262,638,2034,44,1460,1333,2042,82,865,640,1459],"class_list":{"0":"post-58435","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-espn","12":"tag-espn-inc","13":"tag-fighting","14":"tag-inc","15":"tag-las","16":"tag-las-vegas","17":"tag-martial","18":"tag-martial-arts","19":"tag-mma","20":"tag-neutral","21":"tag-news","22":"tag-nv","23":"tag-overall","24":"tag-overall-neutral","25":"tag-sports","26":"tag-sports-news","27":"tag-ufc","28":"tag-vegas"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
