After a come-from-behind submission win at UFC 271, bantamweight Douglas Silva de Andrade took home a well-deserved Fight of The Night bonus alongside opponent Sergey Morozov. The $50,000 is always a very welcome influx of cash, especially for lesser-known fighters on the roster, and the Brazilian already knows exactly what to do with it.
In an interview with Combate, Silva explained he intends to use the money to improve his mother’s house, which needs adaptions for a person in a wheelchair. In fact, D’Silva couldn’t help but feel emotional once he learned he would be getting the bonus money alongside his win purse.
