UFC 274 PPV Bonus Share
The UFC awarded four post-fight bonuses after Saturday’s card, and one fighter received a double dip.
After UFC on ESPN 35, two fighters raised an additional $50,000 for their performance in Las Vegas, and the other cashed a check for $100,000. Check out the winners below.
Francisco Figueredo (13-4-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) needed little time to work in his flyweight bout against Daniel da Silva (11-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC). Da Silva landed a takedown, then tried to transition to a north-south position, then side control. But Figueredo was quick to catch da Silva’s leg, and just 78 seconds into the fight da Silva tapped for a perfect kneeling.
