UFC Fight Night 73 Bonuses: Teixeira & St. Preux Earn $50,000 For FOTN

Former light heavyweight top contender Glover Teixeira needed a big win over rising talent Ovince St. Preux in the main event of last night’s (Sat., August 8, 2015) UFC Fight Night 73 from Nashville, Tennessee.

He got it, but not a drag-out brawl ensued that saw Teixeira repeatedly take St. Preux down, only to see the Tennessean get back up to swing and land many wild punches of his own. In the end, Teixeira earned the victory with a third round submission, and both fighters earned $50,000 apiece for their part of the card’s “Fight of the Night,” it was announced at the event’s post-fight press conference.

The first ,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus went to women’s bantamweight Amanda Nunes, who picked up by far the biggest win of her UFC career be demolishing Sara McMann with a furious flurry of punches and a follow-up submission on the ground.

The last “Performance of the Night” bonus went to bantamweight Marlon Vera for his second round submission over Roman Salazar.
