Amanda Nunes gave Holly Holm a taste of her own medicine at UFC 239, and the results were quite lucrative.
The reigning bantamweight queen received a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for her head kick knockout of Holm in the opening stanza in Saturday’s co-main event at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night. The end came at the 4:10 of the opening frame, giving the two-division champion her ninth consecutive Octagon triumph.
Elsewhere, Jorge Masvidal was an easy selection for a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check for a lightning quick finish of Ben Askren in a featured welterweight tilt.
