UFC Fight Night 56 Post-Fight Bonuses: St. Preux, Silva, Almeida & Gorman Bank $50,000
Tonight’s (Sat., November 8, 2014) UFC Fight Night 56 from the Ginásio Municipal Tancredo Neves in Uberlândia, Brazil, didn’t quite live up to the extremely high precedent set by last night’s UFC Fight Night 55 from Australia.
However, it did feature the true coming out party of what could be a big future star, as No. 10-ranked light heavyweight Ovince St. Preux took out legendary former champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in only 34 seconds. “OSP” earned one of the card’s $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonuses for the biggest win of his career.
The other ,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus went to Leandro Silva, who finished longtime veteran Charlie Brenneman with a rear naked choke.
“Fight of the Night” went to Thomas Almeida and Tim Gorman for their exciting bantamweight battle.
UFC Fight Night 56 drew an announced attendance of 5,461 fans.
