BUFFALO, N.Y. – Gregor Gillespie, Charles Oliveira, Shane Burgos and Charles Rosa each earned $50,000 fight-night bonuses at Saturday’s UFC 210 event.
Gillespie and Oliveira took home “Performance of the Night” awards, and Burgos and Rosa earned “Fight of the Night” honors.
UFC officials announced the winners following the conclusion of the event.
UFC 210 took place at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y., and the main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Gillespie (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) closed out the night’s UFC Fight Pass-streamed prelims in devastating fashion, needed just 21 seconds to score a knockout victory over Andrew Holbrook.
Submission ace Oliveira (22-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC) was supposed to be at a disadvantage against Will Brooks on the evening’s pay-per-view main card, moving up from his preferred division of 145 pounds to compete at lightweight. It didn’t show, as Oliveira took the fight to Brooks and submitted him in the opening round.
Burgos (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Rosa (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) faced off on the FS1-televised prelims, immediately teeing off in close quarters. As time wore on, Burgos claimed control and eventually landed a flurry that forced the end of the fight in the third frame. Rosa contested the stoppage but will at least be somewhat consoled by the extra cash.
