UFC Perth bonuses: $100K home delivery for Quillan Salkilld
Check out the bonus winners and finish bonus winners from the UFC's latest trip "Down Under" in Perth, Western Australia.
The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday's card in Australia, including ones for the main and co-main event winners. After UFC Fight Night 275, four fighters picked up an extra $100,000 for their performances at RAC Arena in Perth. Additionally, four fighters got $25,000 extra checks for finishes that weren’t bonus-winners.
Check out the list of winners below. Fight of the Night: Brando Pericic, Shamil Gaziev ($100,000 each) Brando Pericic (7-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) went to war with Shamil Gaziev (14-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) and finally put him away in the second round with a TKO. But he had to endure the hard-headed Gaziev plodding forward like a zombie, refusing to go away.
Performance of the Night: Carlos Prates ($100,000) Carlos Prates (24-7 MMA, 7-1 UFC) promised to make a statement in the main event, and did he ever. Prates virtually destroyed former welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena (18-4 MMA, 8-2 UFC) and put him away with a vicious TKO in the third round. Prates called for a title shot once Islam Makhachev settles things with, presumably, Ian Machado Garry later this year.
Performance of the Night: Quillan Salkilld ($100,000) In the co-main event, it looked like Quillan Salkilld (12-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) might get a test from Beneil Dariush (23-8-1 MMA, 17-8-1 UFC) early. But then he settled into his groove and took the longtime UFC lightweight out with punches along the fence – and got his fourth bonus in five fights. This time, it came just 10 minutes from his home in Perth.
