Anthony Smith was one of the stars who won a $50,000 bonus but who were the other winners from UFC Vegas 15

UFC Vegas 15 might have been hit hard with the Covid-19 virus as the main event was moved. However, Anthony Smith and Devin Clark stepped up to ensure the show had a five-round bout.

The battle didn’t last long as Smith locked in a brilliant triangle-choke in the first round and submitted his rival.

Lionheart had been on the end of some disappointing losses. However, he turned time back with this performance and confirmed that he wasn’t going anywhere.

Smith also won a $50,000 bonus for a Performance of the Night but there were three others who also got awards.

Who got the UFC bonuses at Vegas 15?

While Smith was one of the winners of the Performance of the Night there was no Fight of the Night award.

The winners of that award each get $50,000 but this UFC event didn’t have any fight that met the criteria.

However, there were some impressive performances inside the Octagon. Nathan Maness, who was fighting on the first battle on the card, picked up the $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.

Su Mudaerji, a Tibetan star, also picked up an impressive win via a KO against Malcolm Gordon in the second fight of the show.

He was also brought down from the Octagon while trying to celebrate but the UFC star will have $50,000 to spend now after his win.

The final award was handed out to Miguel Baeza after he won against Takashi Sato in the second last fight of the night.

Baeza was impressive in his outing and had inflicted some damage under the eye of Sato before using an arm-triangle choke to get the win and the bonus.
