UFC 188 bonuses: Charles Rosa and Yair Rodriguez take home FOTN

On a night where the UFC's title was unified before a packed house in Mexico City, it was the Brazilian Fabricio Werdum that stole the show.

The heavyweight interim champion not only became the first man to submit Cain Velasquez, he got paid an extra $50,000 for his performance in the main event at UFC 188 at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico. Werdum matched Velasquez's intensity on the feet early, and took him apart late en-route to a third-round guillotine choke.

The 37-year old Werdum received one of two Performance of the Night bonuses handed out in UFC 188's aftermath.
