Nassourdine Imavov is $50,000 richer for vanquishing a legend.
The Frenchman received a “Performance of the Night” bonus for his second-round technical knockout of Israel Adesanya 30 seconds into Round 2 of the UFC Saudi Arabia headliner on Saturday at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Imavov rocked his foe with an overhand right and then sealed his surprising triumph with a barrage of follow-up punches near the cage.
Elsewhere, Vinicius Oliveira and Said Nurmagomedov earned “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for their featured bantamweight clash.
