Welterweight Belal Muhammad had a great showing against Takashi Sato, finishing his opponent in the third round via rear-naked choke. Muhammad improved to 7-3 in his UFC career, and this was the first submission win of his career.<\/p>\n
Ottman Azaitar had an incredible UFC debut by finishing Teemu Packalen with a brutal KO in the first round of their preliminary card featherweight bout. Azaitar is now a perfect 12-0 in his MMA career and could be put on the fast track after this knockout win.<\/p>\n
Finally, Muslim Salikhov won a bonus for his first-round knockout win over Nordine Taleb. Salikhov is now 2-1 in the UFC.<\/p>\n
Because the UFC handed out four Performance of the Night bonuses, there was no award for Fight of the Night. Many believed that the co-main event between Paul Felder and Edson Barboza should have won the award, but the UFC chose to go with four Performance of the Night bonuses in lieu of a Fight of the Night bonus.<\/p>\n
As for snubs, heavyweight Curtis Blaydes didn’t get a bonus for his second-round TKO win over Shamil Abdurakhimov. Women’s bantamweight Sarah Moras also finished her fight via TKO against Liana Jojua, but was ineligible to win a bonus check after she missed weight by coming in at 138lbs.<\/p>\n
