UFC 142 was filled with equal parts decisions, knockouts and submissions that made picking the Fight Night bonuses a little more difficult than normal. Take away the questionable disqualification Erick Silva that gave Carlo Prater the win there were there decisions, (T)KO’s and submissions.

Joe Lauzon Throws his Name into the Hat at UFC 136
Last night’s UFC 136 was an awesome night of action and one of the fights that I had my eyes most closely glued to was the match-up between Melvin Guillard and Joe Lauzon. The Lightweight division in the UFC has slowed to a dead stop over the past year as a result of the trilogy of fights that evolved out of the seemingly never-ending war between UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. After Edgar and Maynard’s last fight ended in a draw and both fighters suffered post fight injuries the entire 155 lb. division seemed to freeze in time.
UFC 136 Fight Bonuses
Two title fights anchored the UFC 136 fight card but it was the three fights leading up to the title fights that stole the show. Besides stealing the show, they also stole two of the three “Fight Night Bonuses” that were each worth 75k.
Chris Lytle turns the ”Lights Out” on his MMA Career
A fighter’s nickname sometimes can be helpful or mocking towards their career. Karo Parysian has seemed to lose “Heat” over the years, Chuck Liddell was the one becoming “The Iceman” as he was stiff from knockouts and Diego Sanchez, who knows – “Dirty” always seemed better than the nightmare or dream or vision or whatever he is calling himself this week.
Joe Lauzon Wins Yet Another UFC Bonus against Curt Warburton
UFC Live: Kongo vs. Barry had a little bit of everything and while many were unexpected there was one thing that shouldn’t have surprised anyone, Joe Lauzon went home with a bonus. Lauzon took on the Wolfslair trained Curt Warburton as part of the Facebook streamed preliminary card and walked away with a Submission of the Night bonus.
UFC 109 Fight Bonuses and Tito being Tito
A good night of fights tonight at UFC 109 with some good finishes sprinkled in with a lot of decisions. The finish by Randy Couture was a bit of a pleasant surprise as many thought he’d win but by a decision and to pull out a submission was nice. That was only the second submission is Couture’s UFC career (21 fights) and that’s saying a lot. The great thing was that wasn’t even the submission of the nightas that went to Paulo Thiago for his D’arce choke submission of Mike Swick.
