"One of four Performance of the Night bonus-winners fell in that category. Ante Delija seemed to have Waldo Cortes-Acosta finished in the night's heavyweight co-main event, lighting him up alongside the fence. However as replay showed and the ref caught real time, Cortes-Acosta had been poked in the eye right at the start of the deluge. Despite Delija thinking he had won, Cortes-Acosta was given recovery time, opted to continue, and immediately knocked Delija out."
"In the main event, headliner Steve Garcia took another Performance of the Night bonus for his TKO finish of David Onama. The featherweight fight was much-maligned as lacking the appropriate main event star power, and Onama's name was on the marquee for the first time in his UFC tenue. The end came at 3:34 of round one. Newcomer Donte Johnson, for a guillotine choke submission of Sedrique Dumas at middleweight,"
Fans widely derided the card, drawing annoyance from UFC President and CEO Dana White. UFC Vegas 110 produced several memorable fights but some outcomes were controversial. In the heavyweight co-main, Ante Delija appeared to have Waldo Cortes-Acosta finished, but a replay showed an eye poke; Cortes-Acosta received recovery time, continued and immediately knocked Delija out. In the main event, Steve Garcia earned a Performance of the Night bonus with a TKO of David Onama at 3:34 of round one. Newcomer Donte Johnson and flyweight Allan Nascimento secured submissions earlier on the card. No Fight of the Night was awarded; four performance bonuses paid $50,000 each.
