Ellenberger, Sanchez, Menjivar And Miocic Walk With 50K “Fight Night” Bonus


UFC on FUEL TV took place tonight in Omaha, Nebraska from the Omaha Civic Auditorium. A welterweight clash between Jake Ellenberger and Diego Sanchez is set for the evening’s main event.

It took all three-rounds for Ellenberger to secure victory tonight, but it wasn’t without its complications. After a pretty one-sided first two rounds Diego Sanchez was able to hurt Ellenberger in the third and eventually take the back of his opponent where he pretty much ended the fight delivering punch after punch after punch. In the end though, the judges scored it three rounds to two for Ellenberger.

The UFC gave away $50,000 for their Fight of the Night Bonuses to four fighters. Both Jake Ellnberger and Diego Sanchez took home “Fight of the Night”, Ivan Menjivar took home “Submission of the Night” and Stipe Miocic received “Knock Out of the Night” Honors.
