With more standout individual performances than fights to choose from at UFC on Fox 14, the UFC decided to go with four "Performance of the Night" bonuses in lieu of a "Fight of the Night" after the event.
Taking home the $50,000 bonuses were Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, Gegard Mousasi, Makwan Amirkhani, and Kenny Robertson.
Johnson took out Alexander Gustafsson in the night's main event, scoring a shocking and massively impressive TKO just 2:15 into the opening round. Mousasi did something similar to Dan Henderson in the co-main, knocking him down and landing a big strike that caused the referee to step in.
Newcomer Amirkhani scored his win just :08 into the fight, landing a flying knee on Andy Ogle before knocking him down with an uppercut and landing several strikes on the ground.
Finally, Robertson connected on a perfect counter left on Sultan Aliev after the UFC newcomer threw a spinning back kick. Following that knockdown, he finished Aliev off with a nice rush of strikes on the ground.
