Rhys McKee’s first UFC triumph came with some additional perks.
The Cage Warriors veteran floored Daniel Frunza three times in the opening stanza of their UFC Vegas 105 clash and while a finish didn’t arrive, the bout was halted before the second frame when the cageside doctor determined that a battered Frunza shouldn’t continue. After losing his first four Octagon appearances, “Skeletor” takes home a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for his work.
Meanwhile, Chang Ho Lee relied on his tenacious ground-and-pound to earn a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check in a stoppage of Cortavious Romious at bantamweight.
