UFC Fight Night 18 Bonuses - MMAUniverse.com

UFC: Ultimate Fight Night 18 - Condit vs Kampmann from the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee, 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 $30,000 each.

The promotion dished out its standard post-fight monetary bonuses to four out of the 22 fighters on the card. And it shouldn’t come as a shock whose wallets are leaving “Music City” a little heavier.

In addition to their base salaries, the UFC awarded lightweight scrappers Tyson Griffin and Rafael dos Anjos for their gritty back-and-forth 155-pound war. It was a gutsy performance by Griffin, who staved off a gruesome looking leg compression in the first round to nab a record fifth FOTN bonus.

Grappling wizard Rob Kimmons made quick work of Joe Vedepo when he sunk in a slick guillotine choke to nab his first submission bonus. “The Rosedale Reaper” now has 14 of his 22 wins come by way of tapout.

Also on the undercard, Aaron Simpson locked up a knockout bonus when he pummeled fellow WEC castaway Tim McKenzie in their light heavyweight brawl. “A-Train” didn’t have much competition, as his TKO stoppage was the only one of the night.

Here are the special fight bonuses for UFC: Ultimate Fight Night 18 - Condit vs Kampmann:

Fight of the Night : Tyson Griffin vs Rafael dos Anjos
Submission of the Night : Rob Kimmons
Knockout of the Night : Aaron Simpson

Again, each fighter received $30,000 extra for their performances in addition to their respective base salaries, which we will pass along as soon as they’re made available. The live SpikeTV event drew 10,267 attendees (a UFC Fight Night record) for a total gate of $626,077.
