As well, bantamweight Jonathan Martinez won a bonus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1150235635245965313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The UFC released the bonus award winners following the conclusion of the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1150235635245965313<\/p>\n<p>Emmett finished Mirsad Bektic in the first round by TKO to pick up his bonus. He has now won two straight fights by knockout, with his last fight resulting in a third-round KO over Michael Johnson. The win over Bektic should shoot Emmett into title contention as he is clearly a top-10 fighter at 145lbs right now.<\/p>\n<p>Fili knocked out Sheymon Moraes in the first round by punches. He&#8217;s now also won two straight fights, with a decision win over Myles Jury in his last outing. However, he still needs to be a higher-ranked opponent if he wants to shoot into title contention like Emmett.<\/p>\n<p>As for Martinez, his knockout wasn&#8217;t seen by as many since it was on the Fight Pass prelims. But his third-round KO via brutal knee over Pingyuan Liu was absolutely vicious, and he deserved to win his $50,000 bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Of note, Germaine de Randamie did not receive a bonus despite knocking out Aspen Ladd in just 16 seconds in the main event. However, the fight was not without controversy, as many felt it was a very early stoppage, and clearly the UFC brass wasn&#8217;t as impressed with that finish as they were with some of the other knockouts on the card.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did Dana White and the matchmakers get the bonus winners right at UFC Sacramento?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC Sacramento proved to be a very good night for Urijah Faber.
