The UFC demonstrated a tighter budget during UFC Vegas 99, handing out only two bonuses despite nine of eleven fights going the distance, showcasing their cautious financial approach.
Anthony Hernandez earned the lone Performance of the Night bonus after a grueling five-round fight, setting records and now likely moving into the top 10 of the middleweight rankings.
The switch to Performance of the Night bonuses by the UFC was intended to bring flexibility; however, the focus still appears to lean heavily on fighters achieving finish.
Darren Elkins vs. Daniel Pineda received the Fight of the Night accolade, a bloody and thrilling match that captured the excitement often expected from UFC events.
