UFC Winnipeg bonuses: Two Canucks among $100K winners

The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday's card in Canada, and two home fighters got extra checks.

After UFC Fight Night 273, four fighters picked up an extra $100,000 for their performances at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In addition, four other fighters got $25,000 extra checks for finishes that weren’t bonus-winners. Check out the list below.

Fight of the Night: Charles Jourdain, Kyler Phillips ($100,000 each)

Charles Jourdain (18-8-1 MMA, 9-7-1 UFC) and Kyler Phillips (12-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) kept up a relentless pace in their bantamweight co-feature, but Jourdain’s shots seemed to be the most impactful, and he gave his home fans a worthwhile war.

Performance of the Night: Mike Malott ($100,000)

Mike Malott (14-2-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) gave his home fans what they came to see when he put away former welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns (22-10 MMA, 15-10 UFC) with a third-round TKO. Malott crumpled Burns with a right hand and finished him on the canvas, and the Brazilian hung up his gloves after the loss in retirement.

Performance of the Night: Marcio Barbosa ($100,000)

Marcio Barbosa (18-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) had a stellar promotional debut to close out the prelims when he took out Dennis Buzukja (12-6 MMA, 1-4 UFC) with a one-punch first-round knockout. A short left hook was on the button, and Barbosa needed no follow-ups.

Finish bonus: Jai Herbert ($25,000)

Jai Herbert (14-6-1 MMA, 4-5-1 UFC) pulled off the second upset of the event when he survived a wild first couple minutes with Mandel Nallo (14-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to put him away with a TKO just about two minutes into the fight. Herbert was hurt early, but rallied to knock Nallo down and finish him on the canvas.

Finish bonus: Robert Valentin ($25,000)

Robert Valentin (11-6 MMA, 1-3 UFC) got his first win in the UFC and likely saved his job when he submitted Julien Leblanc (10-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with a rear-naked choke in the first round. An emotional Valentin dedicated the fight to his mother, who died before his previous fight.

Finish bonus: Gokhan Saricam ($25,000)

UFC debuts don’t get much better than the one Gokhan Saricam (12-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) had. The heavyweight took out Tanner Boser (22-11-1 MMA, 5-6 UFC) with a second-round TKO to give the division a little more hope of some new blood.

Finish bonus: John Yannis ($25,000)

John Yannis (10-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) opened the card with a slick and brutal first-round TKO of Jamie Siraj (14-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who was debuting in the promotion after beating a health struggle – and a coma – years ago.
