UFC Vegas 21 bonuses: Dan Ige lives up to nickname in finish-heavy night

There were a lot of fighters worthy of a $50,000 bonus, but Dan Ige was perhaps the easiest call on the UFC Vegas 21 fight card.

Ige, who’s nickname is “50k,” was one of four fighters awarded a “Performance of the Night” bonus on Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. The post-fight bonuses were announced by the promotion following the event.

Ige earned his extra money with a highlight-reel knockout of Gavin Tucker on the ESPN+ main card. A right hand put Tucker on the canvas at the 22-second mark of the opening round.
