UFC 267: Take a look at the results, winners and ones who received bonuses
The UFC returned to fight island Abu Dhabi with a special event in store. The UFC 267 was a stacked card and certainly lived up to it’s hype. The card was built around the clash for the light heavyweight gold between the champion Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira.
Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen also squared off for the Interim bantamweight title. Apart from this many great fighters like Dan Hooker, Khamzat Chimaev and several others were also featured on the card. The card had 14 fights in total which were split up in two sub-cards, the prelims and the main card. With that being said let’s have a look at the results and bonus winners from the UFC 267.
Prelims Card
Main Card
The UFC took the usual route of handing over the fight of the night bonus and two performance of the night bonuses each worth $50,000 each to four fighters. The fights posed a great dilemma in selecting the bonus winners as the event had some great fights.
The fight of the night went to the co-main clash between Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen. The fight was explosive from start to finish and Yan started the fight rather slower than that of his opponent. Slowly, Yan started to establish his authority in the fight and eventually won the fight 49-46 on all three score cards.
The first performance of the night bonus went to Khamzat Chimaev who has been on a steam roll ever since joining the UFC. He certainly did not disappoint this time around as well as he went on to submit his opponent Li Jingliang in the first round. Chimaev did not let Jingliang land even a single strike on him while the fight lasted.
The second performance of the night went to Glover Teixeira who upset the odds to become the light heavyweight champion as he beat Jan Blachowicz. Teixeira was highly dominating in the first round and event though he faced certain challenges in the second round he managed to have the champion in a rear naked choke which resulted in Blachowicz tapping.
