Four fighters earned “Performance of the Night” awards at UFC Fight Night “Hunt vs. Miocic” on Sunday, as Robert Whittaker, James Vick, Daniel Hooker and Alex Chambers each pocketed $50,000 for stellar Octagon efforts at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
Whittaker earned his performance bonus with a spectacular knockout of Brad Tavares. The 24-year-old Australian starched the notoriously durable Hawaiian early with a pair of wicked left hooks, dropping the Hawaiian on both occasions before polishing off his opponent 44 seconds into the initial stanza of their middleweight tilt.
