It was a great night for two UFC newcomers and one fighter making his return to the promotion.
First-time UFC fighters Kai Kamaka and Tony Kelley each earned a $50,000 bonus for putting on the Fight of the Night at UFC 252 on Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. The two battled for three fast-paced rounds to open the preliminary portion of the show. It was Kamaka who emerged victorious with a trio of 29-28 scoreds.
Performance of the Night bonuses went to Virna Jandiroba and Daniel Pineda.
