UFC Fight Night 95 bonuses: Eric Spicely earns $50,000 after huge upset over Thiago Santos

Things couldn't have gone any better for Eric Spicely at UFC Fight Night 95.

The UFC middleweight went into Saturday's UFC card as a huge underdog and many fans expected him to get knocked out in quick fashion by Thiago Santos, and then probably cut by the UFC. However, that wasn't the case, as Spicely dominated Santos with his solid grappling, and earned a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus in the process.

With this victory, Spicely bounced back from his first professional loss, which was his UFC debut against Sam Alvey at UFC Fight Night 91 in July, and improved his record to 9-1.
