Belal Muhammad gets first Fight of Night bonus in nearly nine years – since UFC debut – but loses title
The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday’s card, but denied one of the most brutal finishes of the year – and a moment that electrified fans perhaps more than any other yet this year in the UFC.
Four fighters picked up an extra $50,000 for their performances in at UFC 315 in Montreal. Check out the winners below.
Performance of the Night: Marc-Andre Barriault
Marc-Andre Barriault def. Bruno Silva via knockout (elbows) – Round 1, 1:27
It’s pretty hard to deny someone a bonus when their knockout sends an opponent out of the arena on a stretcher and to the hospital. That’s what Marc-Andre Barriault (17-9 MMA, 6-8 UFC) did to Bruno Silva (23-13 MMA, 4-7 UFC)with crazy elbows on the prelims. Plus, he took 20 percent of Silva’s purse because the Brazilian missed weight.
Performance of the Night: Jasmine Jasudavicius
Jasmine Jasudavicius def. Jessica Andrade via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 2:40
Canada’s Jasmine Jasudavicius (14-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) continued to make a rapid ascent up the women’s flyweight ladder when she took out former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade (26-14 MMA, 17-12 UFC) with a first-round submission. She made a strong case for title consideration with the win.
Fight of the Night: Jack Della Maddalena def. Belal Muhammad
Jack Della Maddalena def. Belal Muhammad via unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46)
The welterweight title changed hands in the main event when Jack Della Maddalena (18-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) upset champion Belal Muhammad (24-4 MMA, 15-4 UFC), who was making his first attempted defense of the title. Della Maddalena has yet to lose in the UFC. Despite the loss, Muhammad’s bonus was just his third – and his first Fight of the Night bonus since his promotional debut nearly nine years ago.
