Alessandro Costa attacked the body with intention, and that work made him $100,000 richer.
Alessandro Costa attacked the body with intention, and that work made him $100,000 richer. The Lobo Gym MMA product received a “Performance of the Night” bonus for his second-round stoppage of Stewart Nicoll in their preliminary flyweight contest at UFC Vegas 115 on Saturday night. A left hook to the liver sent Nicoll to his knees and Costa polished off his victory with one follow-up punch at the 4:56 mark of the period.
A Knee KO and a Furious Round Elsewhere, Alice Pereira also earned a $100,000 “Performance of the Night” check for a spectacular knockout of Hailey Cowan in a preliminary bantamweight affair. The 20-year-old Brazilian prospect rendered Cowan unconscious with a leaping left knee to the chin 4:24 into the second stanza to secure her first UFC triumph. Finally, Tommy McMillen and Manolo Zecchini garnered “Fight of the Night” honors and $100,000 apiece for their frenetic featherweight encounter.
While both men were on the offensive from the outset, McMillen ultimately crumbled his foe with a pair of knees to the body against the fence. From there, he landed a few more follow-up punches to earn a stoppage 3:57 into Round 1. Two performances they'll never forget 👏 @AlessanCosta10 & @AlicePereiraUFC are leaving #UFCVegas115 with the POTN bonuses!
