The Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded four fighters performance bonuses on the UFC Fight Night 223 card.
Main event winner Yadong Song took home $50,000 extra on top of his purse for his fantastic finish over Ricky Simon in the fifth and final round. The "Kung Fu Kid" was in control for most of the fight and didn't settle for a clear-cut decision win. Instead, Song forced the action and finished off his opponent with an impressive flurry of punches. The TKO win came at 1:10 of the fifth frame.
Three other fighters earned performance of the night bonuses with their own impressive submission victories. Co-main event winner Caio Borralho picked up 50 grand thanks to his rear-naked choke that forced Michal Oleksiejczuk to tap at 2:49 of the second round. Rodolfo Vieira also showed his deadly ground game as his arm-triangle choke win over Cody Brundage, which came at 1:28 of Round 2, earned him a bonus as well. Finally, Marcus McGhee's Octagon debut couldn't have gone better as he earned $50,000 on top of making a great first impression by choking out Journey Newson with a rear-naked choke at 2:03 of the second frame.
