Deiveson Figueiredo and Alexandre Pantoja earned some extra money for their entertaining clash on Saturday night.
The two flyweights, who fought in the opening bout of the ESPN preliminary card of UFC 240 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, earned $50,000 Fight of the Night bonuses for an action-packed bout that had Figueiredo leaving with the unanimous decision win.
With the result, Figueiredo improved his MMA record to 16–1 and was able to successfully bounce back from his first professional loss to Jussier Formiga, while Pantoja’s three-fight win streak came to a end.
