Fans had high expectations, but UFC Vegas 95 fell short on Saturday, delivering less action than anticipated. Out of 10 fights, only three ended in finishes, with no knockouts. In the main event, Serghei Spivac claimed victory over Marcin Tybura with a first-round armbar choke, avenging his 2020 loss to Tybura.
Spivac not only won but also earned a $50K bonus, boosting his earnings for the event. In the prelims, Toshiomi Kazama defeated Charalampos Grigoriou by submission (triangle choke) at 1:55 of Round 2, making him the second fighter to secure a bonus.
Another preliminary fighter, Youssef Zalal, also earned a $50K bonus by defeating Jarno Errens with a rear-naked choke at 3:52 of Round 1. These bonuses are crucial, allowing fighters to increase their earnings from a single fight.
However, UFC Vegas 95 certainly was a disappointment, offering less action than fans had hoped for. Fans always look forward to thrilling knockouts and submissions, which were scarce this time. With this Fight Night behind us, the UFC is set to head to Australia for UFC 305, a highly anticipated PPV event.
