David Branch, Ricky Simon, Merab Dvalishvili and Siyar Bahadurzada took home $50,000 bonuses for their work at UFC Fight Night 128 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. on Saturday night.
Branch turned the tables on knockout artist Thiago Santos to earn a “Performance of the Night” award in their featured middleweight affair. The former World Series of Fighting two-division champion dropped his Brazilian foe with an overhand right and finished the victory with punches on the ground at the 2:30 mark of the first period.
