USATSI 8384994

Not surprisingly, No. 5-ranked UFC lightweight Benson Henderson earned a post-fight bonus for his thrilling welterweight debut where he submitted favored Brandon Thatch in the scintillating main event of tonight’s (Sat., February 14, 2015) UFC Fight Night 60 from Broomfield, Colorado.

Both fighters earned $50,000 for their efforts as Henderson vs. Thatch was understandably named “Fight of the Night” at the UFC Fight Night 60 post-fight press conference.

Neil Magny earned the event’s first $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for his third round submission of Kiichi Kunimoto, his sixth straight UFC win. Magny should be an interesting contender in the stacked and dangerous welterweight division.

The second “Performance of the Night” bonus went to flyweight prospect Ray Borg, who decimated Chris Kelades with endless takedowns before securing an ultra-tight kimura in the third round.

UFC Fight Night 60 drew an attendance of 5,807 for an announced gate of $382, 875.
