The UFC Apex in Las Vegas witnessed another thrilling night of fights at UFC Vegas 84, and with it came a generous helping of post-fight bonuses!

The main event delivered a brutal slugfest, with Magomed Ankalaev silencing the doubters and Johnny Walker's chin with a thunderous second-round knockout. This decisive victory not only solidified Ankalaev's position as a top contender in the light heavyweight division but also earned him a cool $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus. His relentless pressure and perfectly timed right hook were a masterclass in finishing power, leaving no doubt about his claim to the spotlight.

In the co-main event, the ageless Jim Miller proved that experience truly is the best teacher. He submitted Gabriel Benitez with a slick face crank submission in the third round, showcasing his ever-evolving grappling prowess and unwavering fighting spirit. This dominant performance not only extended Miller's win streak to two but also earned him a well-deserved $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus. His 15th career bonus puts him in fourth place all-time, a testament to his longevity and dedication to the sport.
