Alex Caceres won an additional $50,000 for ‘Performance of the Night’ as he knocked out Julian Erosa with a powerful head kick to end the contest. After Cacares led with a mighty left hand that missed, but the subsequent kick most definitely did not, the off-balance strike appeared out of nowhere.

Michal Oleksiejczuk received the final Performance of the Night bonus as he brutally ground and pounded Cody Brundage to score a first-round knockout. Since switching to middleweight, Oleksiejczuk has never looked better, and as a result of his outstanding display, he now has an extra $50,000 in his bank account.

Big finishes, big bonuses 👊
