UFC 114: "Rampage vs. Evans" from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, has officially wrapped, which means that it’s time for those select fighters who went above and beyond in their respective fights to get a little extra grease for their efforts.
To the tune of $65,000 each.
The promotion dished out its standard post-fight monetary bonuses to four out of the 22 fighters on the card. And it may not surprise you which combatants are leaving "Sin City" with a little extra green.
In addition to their base salaries, the UFC awarded light heavyweight competitors Jason Brilz and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira "Fight of the Night" for their three rounds of back-and-forth action.
Brilz probably didn't get the decision he deserved, but he certainly earned a lot of respect (and a nice fat check) for taking it right to the Brazilian despite stepping in for Forrest Griffin on such short notice.
Representing the 185-pound weight class was the resurgent Ryan Jensen. The Nebraskan got back into the win column by locking in a guillotine choke on Jesse Forbes and squeezing out a windfall of cash for his slick "Submission of the Night."
Also bringing home the proverbial bacon was miracle man Mike Russow. The hard-headed Chicago cop survived two rounds of abuse at the hands of Todd Duffee only to stiffen him like a freezer-burnt popsicle and capture "Knockout of the Night."
Here are the special fight bonuses for UFC 114:
Fight of the Night — Jason Brilz vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Submission of the Night — Ryan Jensen
Knockout of the Night — Mike Russow
Again, each fighter received $65,000 extra for their performances in addition to their respective base salaries, which we will pass along as soon as possible.

Man that was unlucky for Duffee
I still like what i saw. Most important thing is that he was consistent and had good cardio despite the fact that he kept throwing hard shots. I still think he’s gonna be a force in the future. I was very shocked by Lil Nog though still don’t know what to think.

yeah after the 1st round..
i was like, “ok, Nog’s just seeing how this guy plays”.. by the 2nd round i was like “FUCKIN A NOG!!” lol. I parlayed him with Hathaway, so I would have been FURIOUS if i wouldn’t have been able to cash in on an upset that i’ve called since it was announced. Still sucks for Brilz, but i can see a 1st and 3 rd for Nog. Its reaching, but i can see it.
John Hathaway over Diego Sanchez

Very few people picked Hathaway
A young prospect dominating a guy coming off a title fight and whose only defeats at WW are to Fitch and Kos in his PPV main card debut is a pretty big upset and syn called it as soon as the fight was announced. He deserves a lot of credit on that pick.

Dude Frosnt, i thought you knew your shit and all
but that whole post is just crap. YES, it was that big of an upset, NO Sanchez doesn’t suck, and NO, Hathaway was not a no-brainer.
A guy 12-0 who’s biggest win was a lopsided decision over Paul Taylor comes in and dominates (with a 10-8 round) the first guy to take (or survive) BJ Penn to the 5th round in a looooong time one fight removed from a title fight was a no-brainer? Shut up man
John Hathaway over Diego Sanchez -- I called it. Next prediction -- Matin Kampmann submits Paulo Thiago

Personally I think that Story was a bigger win but otherwise agreed

i was going with name recognition
and the gnp clinic he put on taylor was brutal. most lopsided loss of Taylors UFC career..

Ok first of all I made the same prediction when it was announced I just didn’t make a big deal out. And Sanchez is bad, just another incredibly overrated UFC fighter like Griffin. All heart and cardio, no technique or natural talent, and undersized for WW. I have no problem betting against the “elite” (imaginary concept) of a division.
you're exactly correct, brilz won 29-28
and the ko from russow……..wtf? where did that come from?
never have any regrets, because at the time, thats all you wanted to do
Can you believe that Randy Couture though Rampage/Rashad was Fight of the Night?
On MMA Live, Anik and Kenny gave it to Hathaway and Sanchez…

Well it did resemble a Randy fight so it's not surprising that he enjoyed it

rashad couldnt do much to Rampage up against the cage. he should have done this
really want to see Rampage/A. Silva
and i really think we should see Rampage fight A. Silva now at 205
complaining about all the grapplers they give Silva, give him rampage. he’ll stand and bang!! and no way silva gonna try and take it to the mat.
but 0 leg kicks from Rashad was pretty stupid imo
really want to see Rampage/A. Silva
Rashad never throws leg kicks
At least this strategy worked for him.

sorry dude
but Silva would pick rampage apart, Silva is a much better and more technical striker, and he avoids strikes, rather than just absorbing them like rampage,
Now if ya heart was as big as ya mouth you'd be real, but its not so I know if you get knocked you'll squeal.

Rampage would go to sleep

rampage can take a good smack
and no one has hit anderson as hard as rampage can hit.
i wanna see it
really want to see Rampage/A. Silva
Sanches may be done,
he is stuck between the two divisions, to small for one as we saw tonight. Just dominated by a bigger fighter and look how badly he was beaten by BJ at LW. Were does the Nightmare go from here? Gatekeeper in either division?
Awesome performance by Shad!
155 is the obvious answer
big difference in losing to 3 big wrestlers at 170 and losing to the champ at 155. back to LW Diego. Florian2, Tyson, Frankie, Gomi, Dos Anjos. Good fights are awating!

Who really gives a fuck, he's a bit entertaining but.....
The guy is a weird tool, how the feck he ever managed to shag Ali is beyond me, maybe he’ll realise someday there ain’t any special powers from rain/god and stop pissing about in thunderstorms and just feckin train harder
155
I think 155 was Sanchez’s right weight class. So he took a beating by BJ, no shame in that. He looks soft at 170. I think he should have just stayed at 155 and work his way back up the ladder and maybe by thenthe champ would not be named BJ. 170 is to tough for sanchez, fitch, alves, kos, GSP, and few more would mop the floor with him. 155 he can compete with florian, maynard, and most of the top guys. I think he just doesnt like to make the weight.
WHOEVER LOST THE BETS WITH ME YOUR NEW SIG IS

Good day for Chicago
I was in a bar downtown and the place was going nuts for the Hawks (duh) and when we heard “the chicago cop” won…it was pretty awesome :) All aboard the Russow hype train…jk
LiL Nog
Won #1 Lost #2 bad and won #3 shouldve been a draw imo but draws are just about never given out. Anyways LOL@Duffee that fool must be like wtf? WTF? WTMF??? Still dont see anything in Duff-man to think he will ever be a force in the HW division.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
main events
All main events should be 5 rounds. I am not saying it would have changed last nights potato sack race, but 3 rounds leaves you feeling kind of empty.

Blame Dana
The NSAC changed the rules and legalised non-title 5 round fights for the main event but Dana decided that he wanted to keep the rules the same in the UFC. Considering his whining about non-title 3 round main events in the past I thought that it was a missed opportunity and a pretty poor excuse for not changing the rules.

how about
4 rounds then?? Anyone have a problem with 4 rounds? Anyone?

You'd have a lot of split decisions. 2 rounds to 2 would happen all the time.
This is what happens when you bet on a loser like Cote, I should have listened to David W-S
Well at least nobody would lose and we could all go home happy

yeah 4 rounds is just dumb. unless we go to a sudden victory round if the judges declare it a tie!
