At UFC London, Sean Brady, Alexia Thainara, Shauna Bannon, and Kevin Holland each earned $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses for their impressive wins, with Brady notably defeating former champion Leon Edwards and Thainara and Bannon securing submission victories.
UFC London was all about jiu-jitsu, especially for Saturday’s four bonus winners. It was a night where ground game ruled supreme.
Sean Brady, Alexia Thainara, Shauna Bannon, and Kevin Holland each pocketed $50,000 for their stellar performances. Talk about a profitable night!
Interestingly, no Fight of the Night award was handed out. Instead, four individual bonuses were given. A unique twist in the usual routine.
Brady stole the show with a jaw-dropping finish against former champ Leon Edwards. First to stop Edwards inside the distance! He’s definitely looking like a top contender at 170 pounds now.
Thainara and Bannon also shone with their submission victories. Thainara made waves by submitting veteran Molly McCann, who then hung up her gloves. Meanwhile, Bannon bounced back from a head kick to catch Puja Tomar in an armbar. What a comeback!
In a surprising turn, Holland snagged a Performance of the Night bonus without a knockout or submission win. His decision victory over Gunnar Nelson showcased his grappling prowess. Out-grappling Nelson? Not an easy feat!
This marks the eighth time Holland has earned this bonus. He’s building quite the collection!
