UFC Vegas 91 Bonus Report: Bogdan Guskov one of four fighters to take home $50k

The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 91 event, a thirteen-bout fight card headlined by Matheus Nicolau vs. Alex Perez.

The flyweight main event resulted in a nasty second-round knockout victory for Alex Perez. The former flyweight title challenger was able to connect with a huge right hand that sent Matheus Nicolau crashing to the Octagon canvas in defeat.

UFC Vegas 91 was co-headlined by a light heavyweight bout featuring Ryan Spann taking on Bogdan Guskov. The contest proved to be a tale of two rounds. ‘Superman’ found success in the opening frame thanks to some good punches and a dominant showing on the ground. However, it was in round two that Guskov began to find his range and proceeded to hurt Spann and multiple occasions with punches. Eventually, Bogdan landed a big overhand right that sent Ryan crashing to the canvas. From there, he proceeded to unleash ground and pound which forced the referee to jump in and stop the contest.
