The UFC favored a gutsy slugfest over a lopsided beatdown when post-fight bonuses were handed out at UFC Sao Paulo.
The welterweight co-main event between Nicolas Dalby and Gabriel Bonfim took home “Fight of the Night” honors, with both fighters picking up $50,000 for the bout on Saturday at Ginasio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo.
