Four fighters walked away with bonuses at
UFC Winnipeg.
Mike
Malott (14-2) took on veteran Gilbert
Burns (22-10) in front of a home crowd in the main UFC Winnipeg
main event on Saturday. Malott picked apart Burns from the opening
bell and gradually broke the Brazilian down before finishing him in
the third round. Malott earned a $100k Performance of the Night
bonus for his victory over “Durinho.” Meanwhile, Burns laid down
his gloves following a seven-fight slump to wrap up his
Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure that spanned more than a
decade.
Canada’s Charles
Jourdain (18-8) took on Kyler
Phillips (12-5) in a bantamweight tilt in the co-main event.
While Phillips tried to control Jourdain on the ground, “Air”
scrambled throughout the fight, never accepting bottom position.
Jourdain also put on an entertaining display with flying knees and
rolling thunders, eventually landing more damage to earn a
unanimous decision win. The bout was awarded the Fight of the
Night, with each earning $100,000 bonuses.
Marcio
Barbosa (18-2) was the only fighter from the prelims to earn a
bonus. The Brazilian debutant was welcomed by Dennis
Buzukja (12-6.) Barbosa turned his opponent’s lights out with a
vicious left hand in 80 seconds to earn a POTN bonus.
