UFC 181 proved to be a big night for the Pettis family, as both Anthony and Sergio Pettis collected fight night bonuses for their performances.

Anthony Pettis picked up one of the card’s “Performance of the Night” awards, for catching Gilbert Melendez with a second round, guillotine choke. The lightweight champ earned an extra $50,000 for the award.

Sergio Pettis also collected an extra $50K, as he and Matt Hobar earned “Fight of the Night” honors for their entertaining, bantamweight scrap. Pettis won the fight via unanimous decision.

The other “POTN” went to middleweight Josh Samman, for his brutal, head kick KO of Eddie Gordon.

UFC 181 was hosted by the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
