UFC on FX 4 Fighter bonuses: Miller, Swanson, Stout, Fisher take home $50K
The post-fight bonuses have been announced for tonight’s UFC on FX 4 from Revel Atlantic City, New Jersey. Bonuses of $50,000 were awarded for Submission of the Night, Fight of the Night and Knockout of the Night to Cub Swanson, Dan Miller, Sam Stout and Spencer Fisher. The total bonus payout for this event came to $200,000.
The $50,000 bonuses were issued as following:
Submission of the Night:
New Jersey native, Dan Miller picked up the “Submission of the Night” award for his first win at Welterweight over Ricardo Funch, via guillotine choke at 3:12 in the third round. Miller had lost his last two fights while at Middleweight and was in need of a win.
Knockout of the Night:
Cub Swanson was awarded Knockout of the Night for his second-round knockout of TUF 9 winner, Ross Pearson. Although it looked like Pearson was getting the better of him and soaking up his high-flying capoiera kicks. Swanson caught Pearson with a left hook followed by a rapid succession of shots that sent his opponent careening into the canvas. As Swanson dove in for a ground and pound attack to finish him off, he was intercepted by the referee at 4:14.
Swanson said, post-fight: “I was hitting him with a lot of shots and he didn’t show he was getting hurt at all. I’m real good at that exiting left hook. I saw him go for a knee or something and he dropped both of his hands. I was circling that way and just caught him on the button.”
Fight of the Night:
The Fight of the Night bonus went to Sam Stout and Spencer Fisher. Both fighters received a bonus of $50,000 each for this fight, which was a rubber match to remember. In the end, it was Stout winning the unanimous decision (30-27 across the board) and the series, 2-1. Stout, who won his first bout with Fisher in 2006, improves to 19-7-1. Fisher, who won the rematch in 2007, falls to 25-9 in the rankings.
