UFC on FUELl TV 1: "Sanchez vs. Ellenberger" from the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska, has officially wrapped, which means 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 $50,000 each.
The promotion dished out its standard post-fight monetary bonuses to four out of the 20 fighters on the card, and it's probably no surprise who's leaving "The Gateway to the West" with a second sack of simoleons.
The heavyweights brought the thunder tonight and thankfully delivered the "Knockout of the Night" in the process. Stipe Miocic survived an early onslaught from Philip De Fries to counter with a straight right down the pipe that put the Brit on his back for a sweet English nap.
All in just 43 seconds.
The "Submission of the Night" was an easy pick, considering only one of the 10 fights that took place ended by way of tapout. And that was thanks to Ivan Menjivar, who used a rear-naked choke to force a tap from John Albert after an incredible first round of action.
Finally, Diego Sanchez and Jake Ellenberger were awarded "Fight of the Night" for their thrilling war of attrition that featured "The Juggernaut" running through "The Dream" for two rounds before fading late to give Sanchez a chance to get back in the fight. And while Carlos Condit has said he'll wait for Georges St. Pierre, a rematch against Ellenberger sounds about as good as it gets.
Stay tuned.
Here are the special fight bonuses for UFC on FUEL TV 1:
Knockout of the Night -- Stipe Miocic
Submission of the Night -- Ivan Menjivar
Fight of the Night -- Diego Sanchez vs. Jake Ellenberger
Again, each fighter received $50,000 extra for their performances in addition to their respective base salaries, which we will pass along as soon as possible.

Fantastic card
Funny how the ‘lesser’ events tend to be better than the big name ones. I don’t think ther was a single boring fight on the main card tonight.
The Menjivar fight should have been FOTN though. Short but spectacular.
ya that was a wicked fight.
Going to church doesnt make you any more Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car.
Question
Anyone know why the main event wasn’t 5 rounds?
Yeah
Dana said only main events on ppvs will be 5 rounds now. All free cards will be 3 rounds except title fights obviously
Nick Diaz sucks balls , he can’t hang with the elite WW’s he only looks good against 2nd rate guys in SF
Two week sig bet with TheDragon

Fox cards will also be 5 rounds from now on I thought?
but Fx and Fuel will not due to the level of fighters.
Or am I making shit up?
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.
Please copy this sig if you agree.
No your right
But I guess now very main event will be according to Dana’s latest comments

Good for Ellenberger it wasnt'
no chance he makes it through 2 more rounds. He needs to stop swinging for the fences on every punch. His jab worked really well int he 3rd until he completely gassed. He needs to use it more.
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.

Yeah I couldn't agree more
Hes such a two round fight. Same thing in the condit fight
Nick Diaz sucks balls , he can’t hang with the elite WW’s he only looks good against 2nd rate guys in SF

Dave has a lot of potential but doesn’t seem to take fighting seriously, he didn’t even bring anybody in to get used of the reach/height of Stefan he says he mainly trained with Hendo.

He better dust off the old wrasslin boots for his next fight
His stand up is good, but he’s not hard to hit
i think Brookins got screwed out of KOTN
Miocic landed a good shot & then pounded out that turtle. Brookins left Rocha sleeping with his eyes open. The dreadlocked, albino caveman should’ve gotten the cash.

Wicked card for the first event on Fuel
Herman let me down…but Miocic made me happy…is he my favorite HW? Only time will tell…
For now, Del Rosario is still my boy
