After delighting the Aussie MMA fans for their excellent performances at UFC Fight Night 142 on Saturday night, the quartet of Mauricio Rua, Sodiq Yusuff, Kai Kara-France and Elias Garcia pocketed a cool $50,000 apiece.
The “Fight of the Night” was the flyweight scrap between Kara-France and Garcia. Though the fight was a whitewash in favor of Kara-France in terms of the overall scoring (30-25 twice and 30-26), it was non-stop action from start to finish. The Kiwi was dropped in the first, but Kara-France stormed back to dominate his foe down the stretch.
