Hyder Amil’s furious offensive onslaught paid off handsomely at UFC on ESPN 60.

The El Nino Training Center export earned a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for overwhelming Jeong Yeong Lee in a featured featherweight contest at the UFC Apex on Saturday night. Amil managed to land a total of 42 significant strikes en route to a stoppage victory just 65 seconds into the opening stanza. It was one of four performance bonuses handed out by the promotion after the event.

Elsewhere, Virna Jandiroba garnered a $50,000 check for her victory over former title challenger Amanda Lemos in the evening’s strawweight headliner.
