An abrupt end to an exciting fight didn’t stop Donald Cerrone from extending a UFC record.
“Cowboy” picked up his 18th UFC performance bonus for his brief, albeit thrilling lightweight bout opposite Tony Ferguson at UFC 238 on Saturday at United Center in Chicago. Both men will received an extra $50,000 for winning the evening’s Fight of the Night award.
It will provide some consolation to the fan favorite fighters who saw their heated contest stopped by the ringside doctor at the end of round two when Cerrone’s right eye completely swelled up after he blew what appeared to be a broken nose.
