UFC Vegas 77 Bonuses:

Mayra Bueno Silva was awarded a Performance of the Night bonus for her submission victory over Holly Holm. She came in as the underdog in this fight but showed that she is one to be reckoned with in the women's bantamweight division. She then called out Julianna Pena to fight for the women's bantamweight title. After that performance, she just put it on it's the right fight to make.

Francisco Prado is the last fighter to earn a performance bonus with his spinning back elbow that he landed on Ottman Azaitar that knocked him down and then followed it up with hammer fists to finish the job. With a night with only two finishes, these two were the only ones worth of a performance bonus on the night. While the other fights were great a finish is more than likely needed to receive a performance bonus, especially on a night with 10 of 13 fights going to the judges.

UFC Vegas 77 was a great night of fights, and the bonus winners were all deserving. Della Maddalena and Hafez put on a Fight of the Night classic, and Bueno Silva and Prado picked up impressive wins.
