UFC Fight Night 110 bonuses: Finishes by Ben Nguyen, Dan Hooker earn them $50K

AUCKLAND, New Zealand – Mark Hunt, Derrick Lewis, Ben Nguyen, and Dan Hooker each earned $50,000 fight-night bonuses at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 110 event.

Hooker and Nguyen each picked up “Performance of the Night” awards, while Hunt and Lewis took home “Fight of the Night” honors.

UFC officials announced the winners following the event, which MMAjunkie attended.

Hunt (13-11-1 MMA, 8-5-1 UFC) and Lewis (18-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) went back and forth until the fourth round, when Hunt chased Lewis around the cage, doling out repeated shots to the body and legs until Lewis tired and slumped in exhaustion at the 3:51 mark of the fourth round.

Nguyen (17-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC) used Tim Elliott’s (14-8-1 MMA, 3-6 UFC) frenetic grappling against him, taking the back and sinking in a choke in the first round to earn an upset win inside 1 minute.

Hooker (14-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC) polished off Pearson (19-14 MMA, 11-11 UFC) with a perfectly times knee that sent his mouthpiece flying for a second-round knockout.

UFC Fight Night 110 took place Sunday (but aired live in the U.S. on Saturday due to time difference) at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. It aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
