UFC Saudi Arabia Bonus Winners
In the main event, we witnessed Robert Whittaker making light work of Ikram Aliskerov as he knocked the latter in the second minute of the first round. Whittaker wobbled the Dagestani with an overhand right and finished him with an uppercut. The Reaper’s plan of fighting behind the jab worked out, and he could score a knockout. Robert Whittaker was among the ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus winners and took home an extra $50,000.
In another bout, Felipe Lima was one of the stand-out performers as he displayed his Jiu-Jitsu skills and finished his opponent in the third round of the brawl. Lima boasts an impressive record of thirteen wins and a single deficit. Lima took home a massive $50,000.
Volkan Oezdemir was another bonus recipient as he phenomenally TKO-ed Johnny Walker. The Brazillian fighter was a much more experienced brawler in the octagon, but Volkan knocked out Johnny in the first round itself. Oezdemir has established himself as a serious contender as he took home a cool $50,000.
Sharaputdin Magomedov once again displayed his kickboxing prowess as he finished a much bigger Antonio Trocoli in the third round. Magomedov cashed in on the extra $50,000 for his display against Trocoli.
