TJ Dillashaw certainly had a memorable night at UFC 173, as not only did he lay claim to the promotion’s bantamweight title, he scored $100,000 extra in bonus money.

Dillashaw was awarded a “Performance of the Night” bonus, as well as “Fight of the Night” honors, which came with $50,000 each respectively. The former champ Barao also took home an extra 50 grand.

The Team Alpha Male member won the headliner by stopping Barao in the fifth round.

The other “Performance of the Night” went to lightweight Mitch Clarke, for his upset victory over Al Iaquinta. Clarke ended Iaquinta’s three fight win streak with a second round, D’Arce choke.

UFC 173 was hosted by the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
